Reports indicate that individuals posing as Ukrainian officials were involved in a disinformation campaign targeting Lithuanian political figures. According to published accounts, a group of russian provocateurs impersonated Rustem Umerov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council. These individuals reportedly contacted Deividas Matulionis, the President’s senior advisor, leading to the release of an audio recording.
The recording featured Matulionis speaking with an interlocutor in English, though the conversation was subsequently dubbed into Russian. The alleged discussion centered on the issue of Ukrainian drones. The provocateurs specifically inquired what President Gitanas Nausėda’s opinion was concerning the Ukrainian drones that had violated Lithuanian airspace.
Matulionis provided his detailed response regarding the matter. Media reports confirm that the deception involved the impersonation of Ukrainian National Security Secretary Rustem Umerov. The nature of the contact suggests a coordinated effort to disseminate misleading narratives.
The dissemination of this audio recording appears intended to generate controversy or influence perceptions regarding Lithuania’s border security and international diplomatic responses. The details surrounding the call and the subsequent release of the dubbed material have been widely reported, focusing on the content of the exchange and the identities of the individuals involved in the alleged deception.
