VILNIUS (Sputnik) — The decision to recall the attache was coordinated with the country's Foreign Ministry, while the Russian Embassy in Vilnius has also been informed about the move, the statement added, as cited by the media.
"The decision to recall the attache was taken due to his request and over the changes to his family status," the statement reads, as quoted by the Delfi media outlet.
According to the media outlet, in August, Pikturna married the woman in question, who is a Russian citizen from the Crimea peninsula. She used to have a Ukrainian citizenship but later reportedly obtained a Russian passport.
The Lithuanian intelligence opened an investigation based on these findings, the media outlet reported, citing the statement.
