"First of all, I must clarify that our intelligence services are indeed working, and we are not observing a buildup of Russian troops near our border. There is currently no conventional threat," Kaunas said.

"The likelihood of such actions is increasing, and our intelligence is recording increasingly aggressive behaviour by Russia," he added.
