For Lithuania, discussions about any return to the times of the conventional forces in Europe treaty or any other regimes where Russia would have leverage to dictate what forces can be in our region, while at the same time doing whatever it wants in its territory, are fundamentally unacceptable. #Lietuva #NATO #EuroposSaugumas (translated)

We will seek to enhance the defense and deterrence of member states, ensure long-term support for Ukraine, strengthen the EU defense industry, and protect the Eastern border. We will also aim to ensure a reliable, progress-based, and objectively criteria-based EU enlargement process, while paying significant attention to European competitiveness and strengthening internal and social security," says K. Budrys in a statement. #Lietuva #ES #saugumas (translated)

"We see coordinated actions targeted at critical infrastructure, logistics chains, and other key facilities related to supporting Ukraine. These are not isolated crimes. This is part of Russia's broader hybrid campaign against Europe, aimed at intimidating allies, reducing support for Ukraine, and testing our resilience," said Budrys at a meeting with the leaders of the governing coalition parliamentary groups of the German Bundestag, Thorsten Frei and Matthias Miersch. #UkrainaToetamine #Hübriidkampaania #KriitilineTaristu (translated)

"What we need to do and not forget is to look in the mirror at how much we are purchasing ourselves from Russia.

Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys says that when European countries stop buying energy resources from Russia, it will be possible to put pressure on other allies who have decided to trade with Moscow. #Energetika #Rusija #KęstutisBudrys (translated)

"We are probably more concerned with the process that is more long-term in its consequences, which is the review of U.S. forces in Europe that is currently ongoing. We have submitted our data, assessments, as well as what is provided in Lithuania, as a package and we are awaiting results, which will be in mid-December, late November," said the minister to LRT radio on Wednesday. Lithuania is currently awaiting the results of the review of U.S. military presence in Europe and hopes that its proposals regarding the deployment of American forces in the country will be evaluated, says Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys. #JAVkariai #Lietuva #karinėpriklausomybė (translated)
