On March 31, 2025, advertisements appearing on Facebook offered Russian passports to Lithuanian citizens without requiring them to renounce their Lithuanian citizenship. The ads are published by the Russian private company, the Central Migration Agency, which runs a repatriation program approved by the Russian government. Lithuanian institutions, including the state Crisis Management Centre and the Foreign Ministry, warned that these ads may serve as recruitment tools for Russian secret services aiming to identify and possibly exploit individuals sympathetic to Russia. The Foreign Ministry also noted that taking a Russian passport illegally could expose men to potential conscription for Russia's aggression in Ukraine. Lithuanian authorities urged citizens not to engage with such offers and to report suspicious activity.
