Not…the country they’re losing a war to?
No, just the two countries that they have lost most of their wars to

It’s all secretly the Lithuanians behind all Russian military losses.

White Tights, White Pantyhose or White Stockings[1] (Russian: белые колготки, beliye kolgotki; Lithuanian: baltosios pėdkelnės; Latvian: baltās zeķbikses; Estonian: valged sukkpüksid) is a Russian urban legend about female sniper mercenaries fighting against Russian forces in various armed conflicts from the late 1980s.[2] The legend describes these women as blond Amazon-like nationalistic biathletes turned anti-Russian mercenaries. They come predominantly from the Baltic states, but subsequent variations of the legend have diversified the ethnic composition of the snipers, including Ukrainian and Russian women in their midst. The name “White Tights” originates from the white-coloured winter sports attire these snipers were wearing and was first coined during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.[3][4]
The phenomenon was first reported during the late 1980s, with female Baltic irregulars being rumoured fighting with the resistance in the Soviet–Afghan War.[5] There also were legends of them participating in the Transnistria War, but Russian author Yulia Shum argues that there is no evidence for this and that these rumors appeared as a product of a propaganda campaign.[6]
It appeared first in the English-language media only in conjunction with the post-Soviet First and Second Chechen Wars.[1][7][8] Attempts have been made to link the alleged presence of the “White Tights” in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, not only with the special forces and intelligence services of the Baltic states, but also to the positive relations Chechen leader Dzhokhar Dudayev enjoyed with both the Government of Estonia and Lithuanian politician Vytautas Landsbergis.[9] Sergey Yastrzhembsky, the Kremlin Press Secretary during the early phase of the Second Chechen War, argued that female Baltic snipers actually existed based on evidence from GRU military intelligence, who “don’t make mistakes”. The Government of Estonia has asked for the evidence behind the claims and sent diplomatic notes twice to Russia without receiving an official answer.[10]

Sounds like a plot for a Stephen Segal movie…
Is that supposed to make Russian nationalists feel better, that Russia is losing because of foreign women … ?
It is so they can fantasize about being captured and used as a sex slave by the blond hot amazonians instead of plotting the ‘accidental’ death of their abusive commander who stole half of their wage and threatened to send them on a suicide mission if they complain. Or something like that.
It IS a compelling fantasy …
For entertainment purposes it’s worth noting that the Soviet sub captain played by Sean Connery in the Hunt for Red October was Lithuanian.
What a badge of honour. Well done Poland and
LatviaLithuania. I’m jealous.Lithuania, not Latvia
Latviaa will follow soon
My guess is Russian propaganda is grooming them for the next war
