Presa de stat din Rusia a publicat, apoi a șters un articol despre un atac nuclear asupra unei țări de pe flancul de est al NATO: „Soluția este fulgerătoare”

A Russian state news article threatening nuclear action against Lithuania was published and then removed by RIA Novosti, citing non-compliance with state policy. The piece, authored by Alexander Nosovich, suggested a rapid military response to Lithuania's decision to allow nuclear weapons. It implied that Russia could use nuclear missiles instead of ground forces, framing Lithuania as a potential target similar to Ukraine. The article's removal followed a parliamentary vote in Lithuania to amend its constitution regarding nuclear arms. The Kremlin has warned of nuclear retaliation if Lithuania hosts such weapons, escalating tensions in the region amid concerns of increased Russian hybrid attacks against NATO allies.
