Lithuania's Interior Ministry said on December 13 that it has annulled the citizenship of Adolfas Kaminskas, a husband of Yelena Kaminskas, aka Shebunova, who is reportedly the mother of two extramarital children from Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The ministry said it took the move as Kaminskas had obtained Russian citizenship, which violates the Baltic nation's ban on dual citizenship. Last week, a Vilnius court canceled Shebunova's residence permit. Lithuanian authorities said that her presence "may pose threat to the country's national security over her links with Russian structures," a reference believed to be connected to her relationship with Shoigu.
