“We have been hearing stories of this kind created by Russia for six years, since the time of Maidan in Kiev. We doubt that the authors of such statements believe it themselves,” says the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry.
The Lithuanian diplomatic service emphasized that it was Russia itself that was actively interfering in the internal affairs of neighboring countries.
“So far, the world has only seen ‘green men’ and ‘independent’ journalists sent to work on Belarusian television rather than those who refused to work,” the ministry said.
The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry issued this comment after asking BNS to comment on statements by Sergei Naryshkin, Director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, that the United States had trained Belarusian protesters in Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine through non-governmental organizations.
“The events in Belarus clearly follow the western footprint. The protests have been well organized and coordinated from the outside from the beginning,” the Foreign Intelligence Service said in a press release.
“It should be noted that the West began organizing protests long before the elections. Between 2019 and early 2020, the US alone donated around $ 20 million through various NGOs. Dollars to organize protests against the government,” said S Naryškinas.
He said the money was used to create “independent bloggers” and information accounts on social networks, to prepare activists for the protests.
“The most promising were trained abroad, especially in Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine, where experienced US instructors, specialists in” non-violent protests, “worked with them, said S. Naryškinas, quoted by the Interfax agency.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, for his part, has accused the United States, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine of destroying his country.
“Now we can look back and analyze in detail all the stages of the destruction scenario of our country, which, fortunately, we have not allowed and will not allow,” he said.
Lukashenko is quoted by the state news agency BelTA.
According to him, “a step-by-step analysis of the events in the country reveals the true intentions and tactics of the external actors, not even the Belarusian opponents, but the aggressors”; supposedly “they have been scrupulously preparing for the current ten years.”
“To tear off all the masks at once, we will list these players. At the level of global centers, this is mainly the United States, or more precisely, its network of funds to support the so-called democracy. There were American satellites on the European continent: Poland , Lithuania, the Czech Republic and, unfortunately, our Ukraine, “Lukashenko said.
According to him, each of these countries played their role: “The Czech Republic has long been a resource center, Poland first as an incubator for media channels (Belsat, Nexta, etc.) and then as a platform for alternative institutions in exile”.
“Lithuania, the Taran of Belarus-Europe relations, has been affected by the problem of the Belarusian nuclear power plant. Ukraine, despite our continued support (for example, on territorial integrity and other issues), contrary to the spirit of our relations, he has become a pioneer in political provocations, “Lukashenko added.
“So we clearly see the subjects of this process, its leaders and accomplices. The organizers’ tactics were based on the classic textbook of the American color revolutions. It’s the well-known Gene Sharp (Gin Sharp), “he said.
Mass protests against the falsification of presidential election results and police violence against peaceful protesters have continued in Belarus for more than a month.
