Lithuania has decided to cut support for Sergey Tikhanovsky and his wife, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, following Tikhanovsky"s proposal to establish autonomous Belarusian enclaves on Lithuanian territory. Tikhanovsky, a Belarusian liberal dissident recently released from prison and expelled from Belarus, suggested that these enclaves could serve as a base for launching cross-border operations aimed at overthrowing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda firmly rejected the idea of creating autonomous regions within Lithuania, stating that he would never agree to such a proposal. Nauseda emphasized that Tikhanovsky"s comments should not be taken seriously.

This development comes amid ongoing tensions between Belarus and Lithuania, as well as broader discussions regarding the support of Belarusian dissidents in the region. For more on related coverage, see recent developments in international politics.
