Ethnic cleansing or forced assimilation is never OK, but taking into account the way Russia uses ethnic Russians abroad to pull their strings, I think Lithuania is right.

In fact, the rest of the Baltics and Central Asians should follow suit. Any display of support for Russia should be banned in those countries at this moment with the threat of expulsion to Russia.

Somehow I don't think that removing Russian as a useless 3rd language thought in school is the same as forced assimilation.

Pretty sure international law prohibits that. Heck, the only Lithuanians with dual citizenship are foreigners who took Lithuanian as second citizenship. Lithuanian constitution prohibits us from taking second citizenship.
