The most important mistake of Lithuanian diplomacy is that there is no Lithuanian diplomacy. The clacking of weapons by a Lilliputian state is never and will never be diplomacy

"During his visit to Belarus and after a meeting with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, the Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, answered journalists' questions and reproached Poland, the Baltic states and NATO as a whole.

 

S. Naryshkin was asked how he assessed the situation around the allied state against the backdrop of aggressive rhetoric and militarization of its Western neighbors, reports the Belarusian state news agency BELTA.

 

According to him, Poland and the Baltic states are demonstrating special aggressiveness, especially in their rhetoric, and, as S. Naryshkin said, "clacking weapons."

 

“Poland has gone so far as to announce its plans to place about two million anti-tank mines along the border with Belarus and the Kaliningrad region, and would very much like – hopes, hopes – to receive nuclear weapons from the Americans,” S. Naryshkin stated.

 

He also accused the West of provoking the crisis.

 

“This is, of course, sad. They cannot possibly understand that it was precisely the strengthening of military activity at the borders of Russia and Belarus that became one of the factors and reasons that caused the current major, acute and very dangerous crisis on the European continent,” he said.

 

In conclusion, S. Naryshkin mentioned the possibility of striking the territories of the Baltic states and Poland in the event of a military conflict.

 

“They should realize (although they do not yet realize) that in the event of aggression by the North Atlantic Alliance against an allied state, damage will be done, of course, to the entire NATO bloc, but the spreaders of such ideas among the political circles of Poland and the Baltic states will suffer first,” he said.”
