After the Russian Ministry of Defense published lists of companies allegedly operating in Europe and involved in the production of drones for Ukraine, the State Security Department (SSD) of Lithuania states that such messages are aimed at creating distrust both in society and in the business environment.
As reported by bb.lv, the "hit list" includes a logistics complex A6, located in Riga at 462 Latgales Street. Allegedly, drones AQ-400 "Kosa" are produced here for Ukraine.
In addition to Riga and Tallinn, the lists of the Russian Ministry of Defense also include cities in Lithuania, Germany, Turkey, Italy, Britain, Denmark, Israel, and Spain.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has suggested missile strikes on facilities included in these lists.
"According to the National Crisis Management Center of Lithuania, the publicly disseminated Russian statements and 'lists' that supposedly mention companies operating in Europe are primarily a means of intimidation and informational pressure," the statement from the State Security Department (SSD) published on Facebook on Thursday reads.
According to the agency, Russia has been using not only hybrid but also kinetic operations in Europe for several years to undermine security, weaken societal resilience, and reduce the resolve to support Ukraine.
In the opinion of the SSD, the primary response of states, society, and businesses should be consistent security, information cleanliness, and readiness for any situations.
