Lithuania has intelligence suggesting Russia plans attacks on critical infrastructure and is tightening security; Russia denies the allegations.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda stated that Lithuania has intelligence signals indicating that Russia is planning attacks on critical infrastructure, specifically energy and transport sites. The signals from intelligence services do not specify exact times or locations, as the planning is not complete. Lithuania will tighten security around these infrastructure sites as a precaution. Lithuania, a NATO member sharing borders with the Russian exclave Kaliningrad and Belarus, has tripled its defense spending since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Kremlin denied the allegations, calling them scare stories and a pretext for militarization against Russia. Neighboring Poland also expressed concern about potential Russian attacks on its territory and Baltic states.
Confidence: High
The report is based on direct intelligence warnings from Lithuanian sources about planned Russian attacks on critical infrastructure, reflecting clear hostile intention though details are incomplete. The Kremlin denial is a typical disinformation response. The report aligns with known patterns of hybrid warfare including sabotage and infrastructure attacks in contested regions.
