Russian state-media RIA Novosti, hours ago, published an article titled "Russia is facing another SVO (Special Military Operation). It will be very short" discussing a potential war with Lithuania
The piece, by Alexander Nosovich, responds to Lithuania's parliament voting to lift its constitutional ban on hosting nuclear weapons. It suggests Russia could forgo a ground contingent and rely on "missiles with the appropriate warhead."
The article has now been redacted with a note saying: "The article by the freelance author Alexander Nosovich was removed from the website, as it does not correspond to the opinion of the editorial staff, editorial policy and state policy of the Russian Federation."
