Disinfo: Lithuanian gays interfered in Polish elections

Summary

Lithuanian gays interfered in Polish elections on 13 October.

Disproof

There is no evidence that the LGBT+ community in Lithuania interfered in the Polish parliamentary elections.

The Lithuanian and Polish LGBT+ organizations have criticised the Lithuanian prime minister's idea to nominate Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of Poland's conservative Law and Justice party, for a top state award. These critics cannot be considered as interference in the electoral process in Poland.

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the LGBT+.

Pentagon calls to confront the Russian threat in the Black Sea with more missiles

Even more anti-aircraft missiles, exercises and military bases in NATO countries with access to the Black Sea. That’s how the Pentagon calls to confront the Russian threat. The details of this large-scale plan were recently published by the US government analytical centre RAND.
