The head of Russia's Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) described recent remarks by Lithuania's prime minister, Mindaugas Sinkevicius, as "unusually wise," according to a report.
In his remarks, Sinkevicius reportedly emphasized that intelligence services have no real evidence of Russia preparing aggressive plans against European Union countries, a position that stands apart from more alarmed rhetoric voiced by some other European officials regarding Russia.
The RDIF chief's comments highlight a contrast in tone between the Lithuanian prime minister's stated assessment and broader Western narratives about the security threat posed by Russia to the EU.
No further details were provided on the specific context in which Sinkevicius made his original remarks, or on any response from Lithuanian officials to the characterization of them by the Russian official.
