This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova on Sputnik radio.
According to her, Linkevicius does not have the authority to make such statements.
“Again, there is an element of information war, an element of PR, hype, I think, most likely, the first one,” Zakharova said.
Earlier, former Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius, who now works as ambassador to Sweden, threatened to “neutralize” Kaliningrad if Russia challenges NATO.
Senator from the Kaliningrad region Alexander Shenderyuk-Zhidkov expressed the opinion that the Lithuanian authorities are constantly looking for a reason to virtually “fight” with Kaliningrad due to the lack of good news in their country.
