The Lithuanian president warned on Wednesday, July 15th that Moscow could be planning to attack European infrastructure.
Speaking to the BNS news agency, Gitanas Nausėda, emphasised that security around energy and transport sites should be tightened as a precaution. He appeared to be amplifying information from the Lithuanian intelligence services, who expect Russian escalation against Poland or one of the Baltic countries:
I cannot deny that we have such information and that it concerns kinetic operations—not on a large scale, but targeted kinetic operations that are very likely to be directed against critical infrastructure.
Anything that could stop these facilities from functioning is important because they matter not only in themselves but also because they ensure the functioning of the entire system, particularly our synchronisation with the continental European electricity grid.
Nausėda’s increasingly belligerent comments come hot on the heels of his declaration that the country’s constitutional ban on nuclear weapons and foreign military bases had become “outdated.”
