A 60-68 year-old Russian man from the Kaliningrad region arrived in Lithuania by boat on the Nemunas River, seeking political asylum. Lithuanian authorities, including the State Border Guard Service and the State Security Department, assessed his claim and decided not to grant him asylum. He was returned to Russia through the Panemunė border crossing point on the same day. Interior Minister Martynas Šakėnas stated that such attempts to cross the border will be stopped, but each case will be considered separately.
