“Perhaps I will say first that this was a provocation, which attests that Lithuania’s position on various Kremlin actions is considered to require a response. Without a doubt, an attempt was made to implement that provocation,” L. Kasčiūnas told the program from LNK “Good evening, Lithuania”.
The president of the Seimas NSGK agreed that the provocation had succeeded, at least in part.
“You have to think all the time that you need to know well who you are at the other end of the relationship with (…) to be open with him. This is a lesson for Sigismund and for all of us that such mistakes should not be repeated, ”said L. Kasčiūnas.
The parliamentarian explained that this type of provocation is not a novelty.

(…) Citizens of other countries, especially third-country nationals, whether or not they are in the opposition, should not speak to the head of state and speak in such a way as to degrade that status. I think this is a lesson. Out of all the conversation, this is the place that raises the most questions, “said L. Kasčiūnas.
The Seimas NSGK spokesperson hopes that lessons will be learned from this, and no more such things will be done. In his opinion, the escalation and escalation of tensions on this issue is exactly what the provocateurs were looking for.

And national security, foreign policy are the areas in which we have to seek consensus and we have to speak with only one Voice. The appearance of cracks is not good. That escalation corresponds to what was probably the goal of this provocation. But of course, we are a free state, we can talk about what we want, “said L. Kasčiūnas.

However, this in no way excludes the content of the conversation, which was probably not distorted, as it is very similar to the dictionary of the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and that content is unfortunately a bit disappointing, “he said. Radio LRT on Thursday.
Pranksters, known as Vovan and Lexus, with Ž. He contacted the pavilion in the spring of this year, he thought he was talking to the Russian opposition Leonid Volkov.
At the end of the video, Ž. The flag urges the interlocutor not to pay attention to the attitude of President Gitanas Nausėda and described the president as “symbolic”.
