Lithuania’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gabrielius Landsbergis, has presented a 10-point plan to strengthen military cooperation with Poland in response to growing military threats from Russia.
Landsbergis emphasised the need to consider „worst-case scenarios” and conclude strategic projects in the field of communication and military cooperation. Both countries are jointly responsible for the Suwałki Gap in NATO. As part of building a new security strategy, Lithuania should strengthen regional partnerships with Nordic and Baltic countries and learn from Ukraine daily. Landsbergis emphasised that the United States and Germany should remain the main pillars of NATO and Lithuania’s security. Lithuania should allocate 4% of GDP for defence, with some experts suggesting at least 3% of GDP. Landsbergis urged Lithuania to wake up from the „pleasant stagnation of peace” and take urgent steps to strengthen its defence. He acknowledged that the support provided to Ukraine may not be enough to win the war and warned that it would be time to start counting down to the next war, Russia’s war with another neighbour.
