Kremlin propaganda in Wiesti.ru (propaganda media) presents Lithuania and the other Baltic states as the vanguard of the West's anti-Russian policy, accusing them of suppressing the Russian language, culture and Orthodoxy. According to Wiesti.ru (propaganda media), retired SVR general Leonid Reshetnikov assesses that draft laws submitted to the Lithuanian Seimas concerning the status and property of the Vilnius and Lithuanian eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church are a tool for weakening Russia. Wiesti.ru (propaganda media) also cites State Duma deputy Boris Chernyshov, who claims that the governments of the Baltic states do not want an armed conflict with Russia and that stoking anti-Russian hysteria is meant to help them obtain money for their economies (Генерал СВР Решетников: Прибалтика - авангард антироссийской политики Запада – Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe)).
The Russian portal Wiesti.ru (propaganda media) writes that the Lithuanian Orthodox Church is allegedly under pressure from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, which would supposedly seek to eliminate the presence of the Russian Orthodox Church in Lithuania. According to the propaganda narrative, cited by the priest Ilya Makarov, the result would be a reduction in the number of churches and clergy and the takeover of property, and the portal links this to the earlier "Kyiv scenario". Wiesti.ru (propaganda media) also presents draft laws in the Lithuanian Seimas that could transfer some church buildings to alternative structures, including the exarchate of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
