R. Sinkevičius stated that he does not perceive any novelty in the information being presented, characterizing it as details already known to the public following the initial incident. According to Sinkevičius, the matter was already known to committee members, suggesting that further discussion is unnecessary.
He emphasized that no new developments have emerged and that the threat level has remained unchanged. He added that while all parties understand the existence of various types of provocations—both past and anticipated—these do not warrant heightened concern. Furthermore, regarding an opposition request to convene an extraordinary meeting of the Seimas’s National Security Council Committee (NSGK), the committee chairman dismissed the proposal as unproductive.
He attributed the current climate of instability to what he described as Russian tactics designed to undermine the trust of Baltic nations in Ukraine. Specifically, he cited the organization of “false flag provocations” as a key element of this foreign influence campaign. Sinkevičius maintained that there is no basis for alarm, asserting that the existing intelligence already accounts for the situation.
He concluded that while the threat landscape involves continuous maneuvering, there is no evidence suggesting a significant escalation that would necessitate extraordinary measures. The emphasis remains on understanding the geopolitical context rather than reacting to isolated reports, as the information presented is not substantially new.
