Most Russian and Belarusian citizens in Lithuania work for Russian special services.

"Most Russian and Belarusian citizens who own companies in Lithuania have direct business contacts in Russia and Belarus. Their firms purchase equipment manufactured in the West and supply it to Russian or Belarusian companies, institutions and research organizations operating in strategic spheres,"the report of the counterintelligence Department of State Security and the Military Intelligence and Security Service under the Ministry of Defense of Lithuania.

Sanctions circumvention schemes have also been organized by Russian citizens who do not conduct business in Lithuania but have received a residence permit. They usually act as intermediaries, trying to establish contacts with Lithuanian companies that sell or manufacture equipment needed by Russia. Russian special services are involved in organizing the import of sanctioned goods," the report says.
