- Gas pipeline explosion in Lithuania -

Or maybe: Presentation of the possibilities of exerting pressure on Lithuania's neighbor? The environment around the failure of the gas pipeline on the Lithuania-Latvia line is important. At the same time, Lithuania is boasting about a combat drone given to Ukraine, and Latvia is removing the last Soviet monuments from its territory. The case looks obvious, who could be behind this failure. But there is one problem with the assessment of the situation. It's too obvious a solution, and it's unlikely to be an act of sabotage. A more possible scenario is that it is a natural failure. But it will be used politically by Lithuania, Latvia and Russia. Some will argue that the case is suspicious. And the other side will not straighten these reports. Why does this scenario seem right? Lithuania and Latvia have been pressing NATO for a long time to strengthen their borders with additional EU troops. Russia, on the other hand, will leave everyone to the assumption that they have such opportunities to operate within the EU, although this will not be entirely true. They want to be seen as strong, so they will take every opportunity to show that. Even if it's just shadow theater. It is much needed for the internal political market.
