Lithuania Proposes Ban on Russian, Belarusian Property Purchases Near Sensitive Sites

Lithuania's parliament is considering legislation to ban Russian and Belarusian citizens, including residents, from buying property near sensitive sites to counter intelligence and hybrid threats. The move reflects heightened Baltic security concerns amid the Ukraine war, though exceptions may apply. If passed, it would mark a notable tightening of restrictions on Russian and Belarusian nationals in a NATO/EU member.
