DISINFO: Minister of National Defence of Lithuania Mr. Raimundas Karoblis recognised the Crimean annexation to Russia
SUMMARY
Minister of National Defence of Lithuania Mr. Raimundas Karoblis recognised the Crimean annexation to Russia.
RESPONSE
According to the Ministry of National Defence Republic of Lithuania, Lithuania supports Ukraine in every possible and legally permitted form, including military support. “It is yet another attempt to disseminate bold lies, to set partners against each other and to damage public trust in Lithuania’s support to Ukraine, as well as to discredit Lithuania in international arena,” Mr. R. Karoblis said. “The security and stability of Ukraine, and its ability to handle emerging threats successfully, has a very significant influence to the security situation of the entire region, therefore cooperation with Ukraine has been one of the key foreign and security policy priorities of Lithuania for a long time already - and it will remain that way, despite hostile efforts to diminish Lithuania’s support to Ukraine. Lithuania stands by the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine and it will further support Ukraine’s aspirations of European and Euro-Atlantic integration just as it did.” Further debunking by the DRFLab and Lithuanian Defence Ministry
