The Lithuanian Defense Minister and the chairman of the parliamentary committee on national security and defense have registered a bill that provides for the exemption from service in the Lithuanian armed forces of persons with Russian and Belarusian citizenship. This was reported by LRT, according to UNN.

Details

It is noted that, according to the initiative, Lithuanians with Russian or Belarusian citizenship will not be allowed to perform professional military service, to serve in the Volunteer Forces, or to perform other forms of voluntary and compulsory military service.

At the same time, if a Lithuanian serving in the army becomes a citizen of Russia or Belarus, he or she will be dismissed from service.

According to Defense Minister Kasciunas, there is a security risk of information related to the activities of the defense system to which such persons have access.

In addition, due to possible ties with the Russian Federation or Belarus, such personnel may, on their own initiative, carry out destructive activities against Lithuania.
