The article highlights the resurgence of concerns surrounding Russian military intelligence operations within Lithuania. Unlike the soldiers of today, who have not served in an occupying army, those who enlisted in the Lithuanian military after 1990 were often viewed with suspicion, especially if they had previously served in the Soviet army before Lithuania regained its independence. The author points out that some of these returnees were allegedly trained by Russian military intelligence and were engaged in activities aligned with Kremlin objectives.

The piece emphasizes that Lithuania has experienced a form of infiltration, with certain individuals being conscripted into the military under the guise of legitimate service when in fact they may have ulterior motives. As described, several of these agents have already been exposed and subsequently expelled from the army and reported to law enforcement. This situation underscores the ongoing threat posed by Russian intelligence, which continues to operate within Lithuania and seeks sympathizers for the Kremlin.

In analyzing the methodology of Russian intelligence activities, the article reflects on historical patterns reminiscent of KGB strategies, referencing the strategic principles of famous Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu. The text suggests that current tactics employed by Russian operatives in Lithuania are consistent with well-established espionage strategies aimed at discrediting and destabilizing the state while seeking to recruit those aligned with Kremlin interests.
