Russian citizens will not be able to flee to Lithuania from the partial mobilization recently announced by Vladimir Putin. Lithuania has officially announced that it will not grant asylum to Russians.

This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis. He noted that Lithuania will not provide asylum to Russians escaping responsibility.

Russians must fight against Putin

The Lithuanian Foreign Minister stressed that the Russians should stay and fight against Vladimir Putin's regime.

Lithuania will not give asylum to those who simply run away from responsibility. The Russians must stay and fight. Against Putin,” Gabrielius Landsbergis tweeted.

It should be noted that Russian tourists can no longer enter Lithuania. As you know, the Baltic countries and Poland have imposed a ban on entry into their countries for Russians with Schengen visas. The ban for Russians came into force on September 19.

The European Union also decided to suspend the visa facilitation agreement with Russia.

Russian hilarious people will not be able to escape to Latvia or Finland either. Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics said that, for security reasons, the country would not issue any humanitarian or other types of transport to those Russians who evade mobilization.

In Finland, against the backdrop of partial mobilization in Russia, it was decided to introduce restrictions on entry of citizens of the aggressor country.
