adding to the fact that there are some letters missing, I don't have any idea of what it can mean, and I don't even know if it's russian or lithuanian, although I think it is russian... but I hope you can help me, because I think it can be important...

r u = are you ?
if it came to your phone, i understand it was a text message, where r u could be for 'are you'.
Doesn't help much with the whole message though...
But as you asked for any, even absurd, ideas - here you go!

to angeliki:
strictly speaking: \'to the north of (from?) porto\' would be - k severu OT porto, not \'iz\' porto, but in spoken russian \'iz\' is quite possible
it fits the context -
i think I'LL JUST TELL A LIE that a message came
