Belarus’ border service has received an official notification from the State Border Guard Service under the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania, saying that on 29 October 2025 the Lithuanian government passed a resolution on restricting and on suspending the crossing of the state border of the Republic of Lithuania, BelTA learned from representatives of the State Border Committee of Belarus.

Lithuania’s closure of the border with Belarus is a crazy gamble. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the relevant statement during the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security, BelTA has learned.

Lithuania has resumed traffic through the Salcininkai and Medininkai border crossing points, the State Border Committee told BelTA.

Vaitkus, a Lithuanian politician, says sensible Lithuanians fear government pressure and criticizes interference in Belarus, aiming to prevent Lithuania from becoming a «terrorist state.»

The Lithuanian authorities are demonstrating a new interpretation of ’democratic values’, Press Secretary of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ruslan Varankov said commenting on the latest statements by Lithuanian politicians who called to deport certain categories of Belarusian citizens, BelTA has learned.
