Lithuanian special services detained a 21-year-old Kaliningrad resident at the border who had arrived in the neighboring country to visit his father.
According to the Klops portal, the young man has two citizenships: Russian and Lithuanian, but he lives mainly on Russian territory, in the Kaliningrad region. He crossed the border at the Chernyshevskoye-Kibartai border crossing without any complaints from the Russian side, but then disappeared. The father already learned that his son was detained by the Lithuanian special services for allegedly transporting explosives.
“My son was detained on clearly false charges,” the detainee’s mother told reporters. —At first he was 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 a crime that he did not commit, but that he is accused of, the penalty is life imprisonment.”
The woman said that the family lived in Lithuania for 30 years, but in 2022, after the start of a special Russian operation to denazify Russia, the woman had to leave.
“It has become simply impossible. I was not a Lithuanian citizen. To renew my residence permit, I had to answer questions like “Who owns Crimea?” and tell me how I feel about her. Putin. The slightest suspicion of disloyalty meant deportation. I decided to leave. My husband and I had to get divorced. In fact, our family broke up. The eldest son chose Russia. The middle one stayed in Lithuania and stopped communicating with me.” – said Klops’ interlocutor.
The representation of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Kaliningrad reported that they were “aware of the situation.”
