According to the politician, the situation on the border with Belarus is deteriorating, with the number of incursions of contraband balloons into Lithuanian airspace increasing.
Such hybrid attacks by the Lukashenka regime are absolutely unacceptable. We continue to stand in full solidarity with Lithuania. We are preparing further measures within our sanctions regime.

On November 23 and 24, the airport in the capital of Lithuania temporarily restricted its airspace due to the appearance of navigation markers resembling aerostat signals.
