Another series of Russian provocations involving the Baltic states, related to the Ukraine war, makes so called hybrid war scenario more and more realistic within the region of the Baltic Sea. The incidents that took place so far, such as the Internet existence of “People’s Republic of Vilnius” or the hooligan attacks on the Polish Embassy in Vilnius, seem to suggest that the Kremlin is going to use the Polish minority of Lithuania, along with the tough history of the Polish-Lithuanian relations, as the basis for its activities, aim of which would be to destabilize the region.Read the whole thing here.
Before you go to Defense24, I recommend you check out this Wikipedia entry for the "Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania"...you're going to need the background primer if you're not familiar with the local issues.
I honestly hope this isn't true.
The attack on the Polish Embassy showed up in my alert feed but I dismissed it. IF the Russians are planning to destabilize Lithuania then Europe is in for serious trouble.
This bears watching.
