00:00The Russian state news agency Rianovosti published an article pointing the finger at Lithuania.
00:06as a possible target of a new Russian military operation.
00:10The author, Alexander Nosovich, editor-in-chief of rubáltic.ru, argues that Russia could
00:16to do without ground troops and resort to nuclear-capable missiles.
00:21The text, titled "Russia expects another strategic military war, it will be very short," appeared
00:28Following the Lithuanian Parliament's decision to lift the ban on the deployment of
00:33nuclear weapons.
00:34In the article, Nosovich compared Lithuania to Ukraine and stated that in the event of conflict,
00:40Russia is capable of attacking with lightning speed and achieving its objectives in a very short time.
00:47The publication coincides with reports from Danish intelligence services and the
00:52Czech Republic on a possible limited Russian attack against a NATO country in the
00:57next few months.
00:59Previously, Western media had also reported that Moscow might try
01:04to test the Alliance's willingness to defend the Baltic countries.
01:09The text argues that in the event of a direct conflict with Russia, the Kaliningrad region
01:14It could be blocked and its military infrastructure could become a target for third-party attacks.
01:20In this context, Poland's Foreign Minister, Radoslav Sikorsky, declared in September
01:27NATO enjoys significant military superiority over Russia. In response,
01:33Nikolai Patrushev and, later, Sergei Lavrov threatened Warsaw with defeat
01:39swift in case of war. Nikolai Patrushev, advisor to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, threatened
01:46against Poland with the use of the entire arsenal of Russian forces and resources if Warsaw enters
01:52in a direct military conflict with Moscow. According to him, in that case, the status of a State
01:57Poland could cease to exist in a matter of days. Patrushev made these statements.
02:03In an interview with Russian propaganda media, commenting on the recent words of
02:08Sikorsky on the military capabilities of European countries.
02:11If Poland takes military action against Russia, our country will use its entire arsenal.
02:18of the forces and means at its disposal, and the status of the State of Poland will cease to exist in two
02:24or three days, the Russian official stated.
02:28Sergei Lavrov, for his part, warned Europe of a completely different and very different war
02:35Cut short if European countries decide to attack Russia. I hope this warning is heeded.
02:42in European capitals and in those structures that are now trying to pass themselves off as a Europe
02:47united. We have repeatedly said that we have no intention of attacking Europe, we have no
02:54interest in doing so. But if Europe, which talks daily about preparing for war against
03:00If Russia attacks the Russian Federation, it will be a completely different war, and it will be
03:06"Very short," Lavrov said.
