Germania trimite aproape 5.000 de militari în Lituania, la granița cu Belarus, pentru a proteja flancul estic al NATO / „Războiul nu a fost niciodată atât de aproape”

Nearly 3,000 NATO troops, mainly from Germany, have conducted training exercises in Lithuania to enhance defense capabilities against potential aggression. Germany plans to establish a permanent military presence in Lithuania by 2027, with around 4,800 soldiers stationed there. This move aims to deter Russia and strengthen NATO's eastern flank. The exercises included advanced military equipment and highlighted the importance of modern warfare technologies. Recruitment challenges persist, with a significant portion of the brigade's personnel still needed.
