Lithuanian legal proceedings against Antanas Kandrotas took an unexpected turn with his recent departure to Minsk, Belarus. There, he has aligned himself with Aleksejs Roslikovs, a controversial Latvian politician. The two previously collaborated during the COVID-19 pandemic, fostering pro-Russian movements alongside associates in Estonia. Reports indicate they are now engaged in a propaganda mission from Belarusian territory. Kandrotas is currently facing legal challenges in Lithuania, the details of which have not been disclosed. This development raises concerns about potential disinformation efforts originating from Belarus, leveraging individuals with existing networks in the Baltic states. The pair’s activities suggest a coordinated attempt to influence public opinion in the region.
