Politicians spoke about Putin’s annual speech on the Information Day program.
“It was on these issues that Putin did not speak specifically about. He only scared the West that the answer was not the need to cross the red lines. He was part of the growing Russian army. In other words, just as he did not touch on those issues, perhaps. they remained in the subtext and context, ”noted G. Kirkilas.
According to him, more thoughts on the Kremlin leader could be read “between the lines.”
“The threats can be deduced between the lines. There was talk of an alleged planned attack against Aliaksandr Lukashenko, who expressed his outrage.” Russia is really grumpy, quite aggressive and does not reveal its plans, “said the politician.
Kirkilas also highlighted the upcoming meeting of the upper house of the Russian parliament.
“A few days later, a meeting of the upper house takes place, they have specific powers, one of which is the introduction of the curfew, for example, but the other power is even more important: the use of military capabilities in the outside. These are the things between the lines that are felt, ”said the former MP.
Putin’s report, according to Kirkilas, focused primarily on the country’s domestic politics as Russia is preparing for the Duma elections.
“The entire report was devoted to social issues, health care, education, various investments, for example, the establishment of the President’s Cultural Foundation. A lot of space was given to education.
I see this as the preparation of United Russia, Putin’s party, for the Duma elections in the fall. A lot of promises were given, a lot of support to both families and women, and the like. The numbers are specific to mention, they have been displayed on the screen for a long time. It was said that we will take care of everything, we have to continue voting for the stability of the government, that was the message for the people of Russia, ”Kirkilas said.

Russia is at an international dead end
Kirkilas noted that Putin had not discussed Ukraine and Navalna in the report. Furthermore, he noted, only some international formats in which Russia is involved were mentioned in the speech.
“Russia seems to be in a certain international stalemate: Putin mentioned only a few formats in which Russia can demonstrate,” Kirkilas said.
This means, according to him, that Russia is distancing itself from other formats and feels offended, isolated and angry.
When asked whether Lithuania should respond to the Czech Republic’s request for solidarity and send some Russian diplomats out of the country, G. Kirkilas said it could be done.
“In this case, I think that at least some declarations of solidarity should be made. Another issue is perhaps our intelligence and there are reasons to expel some diplomats. If there is such a base, it needs to be done, ”said G. Kirkilas.
