00:00The Kremlin has denied Lithuania's claim that Russia is planning attacks on critical infrastructure,
00:06calling the allegations a pretext for further NATO militarization.
00:10The denial came after Lithuanian President Gitanas Nusida said his country had intelligence,
00:16suggesting Russia was preparing for the attacks,
00:19though he did not specify when, where or which country could be targeted.
00:26Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the claims as scare tactics
00:31designed to justify NATO's continued military build-up across the Baltic states.
00:36Latvia also backed Lithuania's assessment, saying intelligence shared by NATO allies
00:41indicated Russia had made several attempts to carry out sabotage.
00:46Moscow has repeatedly denied accusations of planning or carrying out sabotage outside Ukraine,
00:52saying such claims are part of an anti-Russian propaganda campaign.
00:56Bordering Russia, Lithuania has tripled its defense spending
01:00since Russia's war with Ukraine in 2022 in fear of being the next target.
