Mindaugas Sinkevicius made the claim on public broadcaster LRT after the early Sunday incident when authorities discovered flammable liquids at the company in question.

Sinkevicius said the firm, whose location he did not mention, houses "nine satellite antennas to guarantee the Starlink connection, which of course supports and assists Ukraine".
