Lithuania is preparing to impose stricter restrictions on pro-Kremlin Russian and Belarusian citizens who publicly support the Kremlin's policies and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Proposed amendments to the law on restrictive measures related to Russia's aggression against Ukraine would forbid those who supported the war, collaborated in occupied Ukrainian territories, or refused to condemn the invasion from participating in public activities in education, science, culture, sports, arts, and entertainment sectors. Additionally, more limits would be placed on real estate purchases by Russian and Belarusian citizens, especially near state security sites and military training areas, to reduce intelligence and security risks. These changes, if approved by Lithuania's parliament and signed by President Gitanas Nausėda, will take effect on January 1, 2027. Similar restrictions on property acquisition have been implemented by Estonia, Latvia, and Finland.
