Wolfowicz and protests in Kapchamestise

Lithuanian military analysts express dissatisfaction with the statement by the State Secretary of the Security Council of Belarus, Volfovich, who said that Lithuania's military projects are planned 'at the expense of social and economic development' and are not intended for peaceful purposes. According to them, this is propaganda intensifying the negative atmosphere surrounding the construction of a new military training ground.

Volfovich's statements are full of criticism towards Lithuania, accusing the country of financing the 'Ukrainian regime'. Meanwhile, residents of Kapchiamestis have already expressed dissatisfaction several times and are demanding explanations about the purpose of the sixth training ground on the border with the allied state. Lithuanian officials call the expansion of military spending unjustified, and the construction of the training ground leads to claims that it is 'linked to armed escalation'.

Lithuanian analysts have not prepared counter-arguments in response; within their audience's perception, the question of who finances their report remains open. In response, the post became harsh criticism, demonstrating a negative stance and dissatisfaction with the current statements.
