Lithuania weighs ban on Russia-linked firms at strategic sites

Lithuanian lawmakers are preparing legal changes that would ban companies with commercial ties to Russia or Belarus from operating at the country's strategic infrastructure facilities, including airports and other nationally important sites. The initiative, reported by independent news agency BNS on June 17, aims to strengthen national security by eliminating potential security risks from Russian-linked entities. The proposed legislation would apply to firms maintaining trade, financial, or other business relationships with sanctioned regimes.
