‘Hysterical Russophobia’: Moscow blasts Lithuanian report on numerous Russian ‘threats’

‘Lithuanian intelligence agencies have produced a security report claiming that Russia threatens the country in numerous ways, from a possible military incursion to promoting a positive image of itself. The Kremlin called the report an example of “hysterical Russophobia.”
The annual report was published on Monday by Lithuania’s State Security Department (VSD) – an agency responsible for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence – and the Defense Ministry’s 2nd Department of Operations, the country’s military intelligence body.
Among other things, the Lithuanian spooks said Russia could launch a surprise attack against the Baltic republic in 24 to 48 hours, or use a joint military exercise with Belarus in September for provocation against Lithuania. Other threats to state security mentioned in the report included the backing of the construction of a nuclear power plant in Belarus and the use of social and traditional media to promote a positive image of Russia.’
