DISINFO: Lithuania is used as an insane Berserker sending its troops to Ukraine
SUMMARY
Poland and France may not dare to send their troops to Ukraine officially because of the [Russian] nuclear response, but still, they will do it in secret under the cover of humanitarian organisations. Meanwhile, Lithuania is being used as an insane Berserker – the Lithuanian authorities received parliamentary approval to send their troops to Ukraine. In this way, they are testing the Russian response to this step.
RESPONSE
Poland and the Baltic states are repeatedly presented by pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets as aggressive anti-Russian NATO ‘outposts’, which allegedly pose a security threat to Russia and Belarus. This is in line with how pro-Kremlin outlets portray NATO and Western countries as aggressive towards Russia. See our article All roads lead to Poland.
As explained by Radio Liberty:
"Lithuania remains open to the deployment of ground troops in Ukraine as part of training missions for Ukrainian soldiers, Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte said. In a story published on May 8, she told the Financial Times that her NATO and EU member state is prepared to send soldiers on training missions to Ukraine. There is parliamentary authorization to do so, but Kyiv has not yet asked for it, she said".
The increase of NATO’s military presence in the Baltic states and Poland has a defensive character – it is a response to the Kremlin’s decision to start the largest military conflict in the region since WWII.
