Lithuanian special services detained a 21-year-old resident of Kaliningrad right at the border, who came to the neighboring country to visit his father.

The young man has two citizenships – Russian and Lithuanian, but the young man lives mainly in Russia in the Kaliningrad region. He crossed the border through the Chernyshevskoye-Kybartai border crossing without any complaints from the Russian side, but then disappeared. The father has already found out that the son was arrested by the Lithuanian special services allegedly for transporting explosives.

“My son was detained on clearly false charges,” the detainee’s mother told journalists. “At first, he was held in prison in Vilnius. Now there is information that he was transferred to Kaunas. I fear for his fate, because under pressure and threats he may incriminate himself. And for the crime that he did not commit, but which he is accused of, a punishment of up to life imprisonment has been established.” The woman said that the family lived in Lithuania for 30 years, but in 2022, after the start of the Russian special operation to denazify, the woman had to leave.
