"We will not comment on the absurd", the Lithuanian presidential press service.
On June 8 2022, Yevgeny Fyodorov, a member of the ruling United Russia party, submitted a certain bill to the Russian lower house, the Duma.
With this bill, Fyodorov (once again)
seeks to strip the Republic of Lithuania of its independence. Fyodorov argues that Lithuania gained its independence from the USSR “illegally” without holding an independence referendum.
Despite Fyodorov's claims, an independence referendum was in fact held in Lithuania on February 9, 1991, with 91% of voters expressing support for the country's independence.
Vladimir Evseev, the head of the Caucasus Department of the Institute of CIS Countries, tuned in with saying that “there is a scenario according to which we [Russia] will have to enter its [Lithuanian] territory in order to provide a corridor to Kaliningrad."
Back in 2015, Fyodorov registered the same bill that, unfortunately for him, was never picked up by Duma.
