K. Budrys stated on Thursday during an interview with “Radio News” that the government’s latest program should not be interpreted as a comprehensive risk assessment or national security strategy. He clarified that the document serves a different function; it is a political program outlining concrete actions rather than an exhaustive catalog of all potential risks, dangers, and threats.
Budrys stated that the plan will undergo further detailing, and he expressed confidence that issues concerning Astravyets and support for the democratic opposition will be incorporated into the government’s action plan. He cautioned that the omission of a topic from the document does not imply a lack of concern, but rather an emphasis on elements deemed politically most relevant and important. He specifically addressed the situation involving Belarus, noting that the country’s continuation of hybrid actions against Lithuania or its support for Russian aggression against Ukraine remains a significant concern.
In summary, while the government program is intended to detail immediate steps, Budrys indicated that key geopolitical issues, such as Belarusian actions, remain central to the nation’s focus.
