The Prime Minister of Lithuania, Gintautas Paluckas, said that the government has asked the police to provide security for energy infrastructure facilities, after attempts to disrupt the planned disconnection.

We see very clear and unambiguous attempts by opponents to disrupt this process. That’s why we take measures to protect our infrastructure

After recent incidents and alleged sabotage in the Baltic Sea, Vilnius considers it extremely important to strengthen security measures around infrastructure.
