Funeral wreaths found near defense companies in Lithuania and Czechia

Unknown individuals placed funeral wreaths near defense industry companies in Lithuania and Czechia, an incident the head of one Lithuanian firm described as "ordinary intimidation" by Russia.

Funeral wreaths have been found placed near several defense industry companies in both Lithuania and Czechia, according to a report by Euromaidan Press.

The head of one affected Lithuanian defense company publicly commented on the incident, describing it as "ordinary intimidation." In his assessment, Russia is behind the act.

Details remain unclear

It is not yet known who exactly placed the wreaths, precisely when the incident occurred, or how many companies in each country were affected. The names of the specific companies near which the wreaths were found have not been made public, nor is it clear whether any formal investigation has been opened.

So far, the only public reaction comes from the Lithuanian executive, who characterized the act as a familiar occurrence and directly attributed it to Russia. No other official comments or statements from state authorities in either country have been reported.
