Lituania pregătește evacuarea populației în caz de atac al Rusiei: „Vom riposta, vom intra în luptă”

Lithuania is preparing evacuation plans for its population in response to potential Russian aggression, as stated by Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius. He emphasized that the country will not surrender if attacked, asserting a commitment to retaliate. The heightened concern follows recent drone incursions into NATO airspace, which have intensified fears of an imminent attack. Lithuania's government is developing various crisis scenarios, including organized evacuations from urban areas. Sinkevičius noted that while planning does not imply an expectation of war, the geographical position necessitates readiness. He also highlighted the need for European nations to reassess their defense perspectives, particularly regarding threats faced by countries on NATO's eastern flank.
