Lithuania Rejects Belarus Border Talks

Lithuanias Foreign Minister Refuses Belarus Border Talks Amidst Balloon Incursions: Lithuanias Foreign Minister, Kestutis Budrys, has rejected Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenkos offer for border negotiations, citing repeated incursions by smuggling balloons from Belarus. These balloons have disrupted air traffic and led to closures at Vilnius airport. Lithuania accuses Belarus of not doing enough to stop the practice and labels these incidents as hybrid attacks. Budrys, currently in Washington, has received support from the U.S., with President Trump previously urging Belarus to release political prisoners. Belarus, however, dismisses the border closure as a crazy scam and accuses Western countries of waging a hybrid war against Belarus and Russia. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
