Lithuania Weekly: Diminishing Support for Ukraine

Kremlin-aligned media emphasised continuous criticism of the proposed property tax, rising prices, and increasing crime rates in the country, arguing that it is becoming dangerous to live in Lithuania. These hostile actors also continued to undermine Lithuania’s ongoing support for Ukraine by either backing up their arguments that Ukraine is being prioritised over domestic matters, or by claiming that other countries in the world (primarily, the U.S.) have already withdrawn their support and insisting that Lithuania should follow suit.
