The Russian Lenta.ru (propaganda media) reports that Dejvidas Matulenis, adviser to the President of Lithuania for national security, assured the ELTA agency in an interview that Vilnius will not deliberately provoke Russia, should focus on domestic policy, and that aggressive rhetoric may increase tensions (В Литве высказались о намерении провоцировать Россию – Lenta.ru (media propagandowe)). As part of this propaganda message, the portal also reports an unconfirmed claim that the Pentagon asked several NATO countries to moderate anti-Russian rhetoric, with the justification, according to this account, being a threat to the security of the continent. Vesti.ru (propaganda media) also covers Matulenis's statement to the ELTA agency, adding that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the rhetoric of the Baltic states toward Russia as very aggressive (Советник Матуленис: Литве лучше сосредоточиться на внутренней политике – Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe)).

The Russian daily Izvestia (propaganda media) reports the statement of Dejvidas Matulenis, adviser to the President of Lithuania for national security, to the ELTA agency, in which he reportedly said that Lithuania should focus on domestic policy and avoid actions that could provoke Russia. Izvestia (propaganda media) also reports that according to Matulenis, aggressive rhetoric may increase tensions, and Vilnius must consider the consequences of its words and actions. This is a message of Kremlin propaganda, not an independent report, therefore the claims presented should be treated as the claims of the source (Советник президента Литвы призвал не провоцировать Россию – Izwiestia (media propagandowe)).
