"Almost no other country is as ambitious as Lithuania. Many NATO countries leave themselves a 1.5 percent reserve while moving towards five percent, saying it is related to other defense-related areas. We apply the five percent only for military defense," said the chairman of the Seimas, Juozas Olekas, to reporters before the Seimas session. #LeeduEelarve #Pensionid #Riigivõlg (translated)

We noted that the proposed budget project actually meets our main expectations, that is, that the main focus is on defense, and there is support for families, which should be very important in addressing demographic issues and economic growth challenges. The state budget project for 2027 prepared by the government and submitted to the parliament essentially meets the main expectations – sufficient defense funding and increased support for families, says the Chairman of the Parliament Juozas Olekas. #biudžetas #gynyba #šeimosparama (translated)

So far, I know that there is information that it has been promised that they (U.S. troops - ELTA) will return to Lithuania earlier, even before the final review of forces (in Europe - ELTA). (…) As far as I know, our executive government representatives have not received any other information, have not indicated it, so we are preparing for the reception of U.S. troops and are discussing their permanent presence here in Lithuania. Speaker of the Seimas Juozas Olekas says he does not have written confirmation regarding the return of rotational U.S. military battalions to Lithuania, but he assures that Washington's commitment is ensured by Lithuania's efforts to strengthen its defense. #JAVkariai #gynyba #Lietuva (translated)

Lithuania supports efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine. "Lithuania supports efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine. Together, we firmly hold the position that peace cannot be achieved at the expense of Ukraine - it must be based on international law and respect for Ukraine's sovereignty. Energy ceasefires would be an important step, but they should not mean unilateral concessions to the aggressor," J. Olekas is quoted in the statement. #Ukraina #taika #suvienytosvalstybės (translated)

"We must, with the joint efforts of all of us, stop the aggression and honor those victims who sacrificed their most precious lives for freedom and democracy," said the Chairman of the Parliament, Juozas Olekas, in a recorded speech, emphasizing that the victims of October 7 must be remembered along with the civilian victims of other wars. #Izraelis #Hamas #žmogausteisės (translated)

"It is important for us that the President of the United States knows where Lithuania is and that Lithuanians are good people. (...) And this is important for us from a defense perspective, as the presence of U.S. troops in Lithuania greatly strengthens our deterrence." "Sometimes we interpret the words of the U.S. President in our own way, but in this case, I believe we really need to take seriously, as I said, the need for us to have Americans here in Lithuania and our own contributions, the American Lithuanians living there, the diaspora who care about their homeland," emphasized J. Olekas. #JAV #Lietuva #karinėbaze (translated)

(Cancellation - BNS) would mean that we secure stronger support, which could be. (...) once the legal distinctions that Lithuania had in comparison with other EU and NATO countries are resolved, there will be none, we will be equal. The Chairman of the Parliament, Juozas Olekas, has said that the final adoption is scheduled for January 12 of next year. #BranduolinisGinklas #Konstitucija #Seimas (translated)
