During a press briefing on Wednesday, R. Kaunas addressed security concerns, clarifying that current intelligence reports do not indicate a conventional buildup of Russian forces along our border. While acknowledging the absence of immediate conventional threats, Kaunas cautioned that the situation is marked by increasing provocations and “false flag” campaigns, noting that intelligence suggests a growing pattern of aggressive behavior from Russia.
This discussion followed statements made by President G. Nausėda, who had previously suggested that the nation responsible for attacking Ukraine might face operational difficulties conducting military actions on multiple fronts. In response to escalating tensions, the European Union is reportedly reinforcing its stance in Ukraine through the announcement of a new defense program.
Furthermore, the head of government reiterated the commitment of the bloc, stating that the European Union stands ready to defend itself should the Kremlin initiate an attack against any member country. Kaunas’s briefing emphasized that while the immediate military threat from Russian forces is not currently evident, the focus remains on monitoring escalating non-conventional pressures. The statements collectively underscore a heightened state of alert regarding geopolitical instability in the region.
