Lithuania is considering restricting social services, work permits, and documents for Ukrainian men of military age in the country to facilitate their return to Ukraine.

Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurinas Kasciunas does not rule out restrictions on social services for Ukrainian men of military age who are in the country.  Lithuania is not considering any specific measures yet and is watching what decisions Poland will make.  This was reported by Delfi, according to UNN

"The direction is correct. (...) It is probably hard to say what measures this will turn into. Perhaps, we will need to talk about this specifically," the minister said. 

"Of course, no one will collect them and take them to Ukraine - this will not happen. But (it is possible to limit these people) in social benefits, work permits, documents - these are options, as I hear from the Polish side. So let's wait and see what option they will offer, perhaps it will be suitable for Lithuania as well," Kasciunas added.
