You can look up polling of russian language users in the Baltics regarding the full scale invasion of Ukraine. It is easy to find. Not a very good result for your argument.

But we're talking about Lithuania. That's the thing, before you cite a national security threat to strip away a lot of peoples freedom there should be a credible threat to the security of your nation. Making it based on someones passport is just ineffectual as well. Just a "well they attacked them so it stands to reason they'll get us next". Why arent kazakhstan, turkmenistan etc reacting the same way? They should be more afraid since Russia would have a much easier fight against them I'm sure.

And still how is allowing them to visit their home country only 4 times a year except for business trips and other odds and ends gonna help anything even if there were such a threat? There is no point to this law other than to target russians.

Btw, your not doing the russians any favour by spreading their victimhood narratives.

It's not just a "narrative" if there is a law that specifically targets russians!

The chauvinistic attitudes of russian speakers in the Baltic nation toward the full scale invasion of Ukraine is very much reflective of their treasonous nature.

If you have even a modicum of exposure to russians (and you're arguing in good faith), you would know that reconquering the Baltic nations is something that is very much in line with their goal and attitudes.

Kazakhstan very much understands the nature of russians and they have built out bridges with China (that is de facto putting a veto on further russian expansion in central Asia), while also getting rid of the legacy russian genocidal imperialism.

Regarding, Turkmenistan, it might help for you to open a map of Central Asia.

You talk big about credible threats and so on; but who the fuck are you to define what is a credible threat for Lithuania? The Lithuanian government should prioritize the security and well being of their citizens.

Are you going to be joining EU battalions if the Baltic nations do get invaded by the russians? Of course not!
