Russian and Belarusian citizens who reside in Lithuania will have their residence permits revoked if they travel to Russia or Belarus more than once within a three month period, Lithuanian media outlet LRT reported on May 3.
So abandon your work, force your lithuanian spouse to move, uproot your kids or see your extended family almost never again. Sorry you’re losing out bud sucks for you I guess, not Lithuanias problem though we just make the laws forcing you to choose.
Also seems like plenty of Americans who are against Trump seem to be all for other countries countering.
Plenty of Americans against Trump are still not opposed to the genocide in Gaza. There’s a significant portion of Against Trumpers who were on board with the Iraq invasion, Liz Cheney comes to mind for instance. Here’s a protip: If the americans want you to fight a war its not because they care for you…
edit: still waiting on a reason for how this helps lithuania even if there were a national security threat
If you think you should be allowed as a russian to live in a country russia is engaging in psyops, social destabilization, and some cases even open warfare against, you should be fucking forced to decide. Do you want to stay where you are and have been welcomed despite all your country’s bullshit then do so and blame your relatives at home because they don’t make it stop. Blame yourself as well because you dodged that bullet for a good life elsewhere.
All more logical and reasonable than to expect your host country to roll over and take it for your convenience, especially when most of the russians living elsewhere are just as indoctrinated as those at home and are often willing assets for the russian hybrid campaigns, espionage and sanction evasions. No victim nation of russian aggression can be faulted for trying to protect themselves from a new kind of warfare.
Russians that wholeheartedly condemn what their country is doing probably aren’t travelling that often to russia, for fear of being arrested. Thus, the ones regularly crossing the border are likely the ones that either support russia, or are suspiciously silent. Obviously, these are people we don’t really want in the country anyway, because they’re terrible people. That’s before we bring in the security aspect of allowing russians that are supportive of a potential invasion of the country to stay in the country. Those people are a sabotage and intelligence risk.
Any russian that doesn’t explicitly oppose the current russian regime is complicit. Even more so if they live in a country with free speech. There are plenty of videos online where you can see the preferred methods of dealing with russians engaged in invasions - why not extend the treatment to those supporting them?
Yes, actually. Believe it or not, every Russian and Ukrainian had to make that choice already, and WITHOUT the 1 in 3 months visit option. This is a pretty small problem by comparison. Also, nitpick, but doesn’t a couple eventually move into one place anyway?
Plenty of Russians are still not opposed to the war with Ukraine. I suppose we’re at a standstill, then.
As for pros of doing so, the article says it, potential sabotage. We already have had troubles at the Poland/Belarus border for years, so this seems fair to me. Could also be specifically preventing Russians working in Lithuania and then heading back to take advantage of/boosting Russian economy.
