“This is likely to be a complex cyber information attack,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The head of Lithuanian diplomacy, L. Linkevičius, is extremely critical of the processes taking place in Belarus after the last rigged presidential elections. Linkevičius has repeatedly publicly appointed Aliaksandr Lukashenko as the former president of Belarus and has spoken out strongly against the violence used by the authoritarian leader’s regime, who has ruled for more than two decades, to quell peaceful protests.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has previously reacted to statements made by L. Linkevičius about the Lukashenko regime. According to the latter, Lithuania, which operates with undemocratic methods and shows no respect for Belarusian sovereignty, is trying to destabilize the situation in Belarus.

The information and cyberattacks have been used several times before the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
