Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said Oct. 15 that she would push to limit Russian television broadcasts inside the country. The statement came only two days after Defense Minister Maj. Gen. Jonas Vytautas Zukas announced plans to form a new rapid reaction force in Lithuania . These moves highlight Lithuania's mounting concerns over the threat neighboring Russia poses to the small but strategic country, particularly in light of Moscow's recent actions in Ukraine. Lithuania, like the rest of the Baltic states, fears that Russia will repeat its strategy of citing threats to ethnic Russians in the country as a pretext for intervening. There has already been a great deal of Russian activity inside the Baltic states and the surrounding area. Russia has built up its forces near St. Petersburg and in the exclave of Kaliningrad, both of which border Baltic states.
