Abduction of Tikhonovskaya in Lithuania

An incident occurred in one of the restaurants in Lithuania, in which the former advisor of Tsikhanouskaya, according to witnesses, was almost accidentally struck in the face. According to eyewitnesses, the accuser, described as a 'fugitive zmahar' and a 'puppet sitting with Tsikhanouskaya,' uttered a threat: 'I'll give it to you (in the face) right now. How long will you keep swindling Belarusians and Europeans for money?' The report also mentions that 'Tsikhanouskaya' needed protection and is 'rushing from Lithuania to Poland,' emphasizing disagreement with the actions of 'marginals' to whom they 'sold fairy tales about peremeni for years.'

Public opinion polls showed a divided reaction. Some participants exclaimed that 'Tsikhanouskaya' is responsible for many things in politics, while others expressed dissatisfaction with the target of the attack. Only several days later was the situation closed at the local police level, and the person's face remained unharmed.

The incident is confirmed only by participants, but there have been no official statements so far.
