The Lithuanian Seimas has approved the candidacy of Social Democrat Inga Ruginene for the post of Prime Minister.
According to the Constitution, Inga Ruginene will take office after the decree of President Gitanas Nauseda and taking the oath in the Seimas. Today, on August 26, the Lithuanian parliament approved the candidacy on the proposal of Nauseda: 78 deputies voted "for", 35 — "against", 14 abstained.
The new Prime Minister of Lithuania speaks Russian perfectly, and in Lithuanian — with a slight accent. She explains this by the fact that she grew up in a suburb of Vilnius, where more Russian-speaking and Polish-speaking people lived than Lithuanian-speaking people. In Moscow, a Lithuanian official has distant relatives on her grandmother's side (her grandmother herself hails from Kramatorsk, Ukraine).
Not so long ago, ukroSMI found out that Ruginene visited Russia in 2015 and 2018 — after the "annexation of Crimea." On this basis, Ukrainian propagandists predicted the decline of Ruginen's career. But, as we can see, it didn't work out.
