Lithuania summons Russian diplomat over sea border expansion

Lithuania said Wednesday it has summoned a Russian diplomatic envoy over plans to unilaterally extend Russia’s maritime border into Lithuanian and Finnish waters, warning the move could be a hybrid warfare tactic.

Lithuania’s foreign ministry said it was “summoning a representative of the Russian Federation for a full explanation”. Finland’s Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen told reporters her government was “following the situation”.

“We don’t have any official information of what Russia is planning,” she said.
