According to Russian news reports, Russia's FSB terrorists seized a security officer in a local criminal prison on suspicion of spying for Lithuania.
Lt. Col. Vasiliy Khitryuk, of the Federal Prison Service, has been accused by the FSB of "inducing Russian military and security officers "to provide secret documents to the Lithuanians for money".
The Khitryuk's capture by the Russian FSB agents of the FSB in the Russian-occupied German city of Koenigsberg in the eastern German province of Prussia ( after Second World War) purportedly "prevented a leak abroad of secret military information about combat and mobilization readiness of the Baltic fleet and troops deployed in the region", the Russians claimed.
FSB did not bother to explain what kind of "secret military information" could be in possession of a prison guard officer.
As in previous cases, the FSB probably chose Mr Khitryuk for the role of a "Lituanian spy" because of his Ukrainian name and origin.
Relations between rotten to the core by imperialistic syndrome Russia and Lithuania have been strained since the Baltic country regained independence from the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1991. Over the past seven years, occurred several incidents of tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions. In the
latest incident, Lithuania expelled a Russian criminal "diplomat" for spying, earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Petras Vaitiekunas said that such small country as Lithuania carries out no intelligence activity in Russia at all.
