The relative strength or weakness of a particular national #passport directly affects the quality of life for the passport holder and may even be a matter of life and death in some circumstances.

160 days of #Russia's brutal full-scale war against #Ukraine. 🇷🇺 forces show complete disregard for civilian lives & infrastructure, attacking it 60 times more than military targets, @CforCD estimates show. Attacks on civilian objects are a war crime – 🇷🇺 will be held to account.
👏 Today we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first permanent modern Constitution of the State of 🇱🇹 adopted by the Constituent Seimas. This Constitution established the principles of democracy, the national symbols, and the parliamentary form of government of a republic.
#OTD in 1991, #Soviet OMON attacked a border post in Medininkai, brutally murdering 7 unarmed officers. The desperate and crumbling USSR tried to destabilize Lithuania by assaulting 🇱🇹 border posts. It was one of the bloodiest incidents on #Lithuania's path towards independence.
Repetitiveness is a defining feature of pro-Kremlin disinformation, as it makes their lies sound more believable. Over the next weeks, we're bringing you an overview of five key narratives in pro-Kremlin disinfo. Narrative #1: the Elites v the People. https://t.co/Dk5vHwPiTU
🇱🇹 has a long history of cherishing free press.
Even during the armed anti-Soviet resistance, 🇱🇹 #FreedomFighters championed press freedom and were the only legitimate free news outlet in #Lithuania countering the Soviet propaganda.
To protect and to inform was the main goal.
Evidence of the crimes committed by 🇷🇺 forces in #Ukraine is piling up: @HRW documents forcible disappearances of 🇺🇦 civilians, illegally transferred to #Russia & possibly held as hostages.
#RussianWarCrimes will not stop until we #StopRussianAggression.

Support for #EU 🇪🇺 membership is the highest in 15 years, according to @Europarl_EN poll.
Almost two-thirds (65%) of Europeans see EU membership as a "good thing," the highest 📈 since 2007.
The data shows that 82% of #Lithuanian 🇱🇹 citizens have a favorable view of membership.
The #Kremlin is waging #InformationWar 2.0. The EUISS tracked key narratives promoted by 🇷🇺 to understand the trends of the official communication from October 2021, when Russian military buildup intensified along the 🇺🇦 border, until June 2022.

1⃣3⃣5⃣ days of #Ukraine fighting against unprovoked, full-scale Russian invasion.
At least 350 cases of potential environmental damage caused by the war were documented. Russia doesn't only kill people - it threatens future generations. Yet another expression of Russia's terror.
Despite the Soviet occupation after WWII, #Lithuania had friends in the West.
🇱🇹 #FreedomFighters movement cooperated with Western intelligence agencies aiming to build up momentum against the USSR. They found support and worked jointly with 🇫🇷 🇸🇪 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 agencies.
Today #Lithuania commemorates Statehood Day, marking the coronation of the country's first and only king Mindaugas in 1253. Traditionally, Lithuanians all around the🌍will gather to sing the national anthem. Unity these times is more important than ever. #InSolidarityWeAreStrong!

Транзит через Литву на российскую территорию в #Калининград не остановлен и не запрещен. Литва лишь обеспечивает выполнение санкций Европейского союза, принятых вследствие российского вторжения в #Украина.
Факты 👇
В последнее время Россия 🇷🇺 перенаправила часть своих усилий на обман международной аудитории касательно Литвы 🇱🇹.
@EUvsDisinfo пишет о дезинформации, транзитe между Калининградом и другими регионами России и многом другом.

«#ЕС сожалеет об аресте политического активиста @IlyaYashin. Это политически мотивированное решение, ЕС призывает к немедленному и безусловному освобождению Яшина. Это еще один тревожный пример непрекращающихся внутренних репрессий в тени 🇷🇺 неспровоцированного вторжения в 🇺🇦».
