Lithuania commits to allocating between 5% and 6% of its GDP to defense from 2026 to 2030. The decision was made today at the State Defense Council. Difficult times require bold decisions& leadership. We call on our allies to follow this lead. The era of passive “sit-and-wait” strategies is over.

Glad to welcome Minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania, Emil Hurezeanu, to Vilnius. We had productive discussions on strengthening bilateral relations& cooperation within #EU& #NATO.
It is crucial to continue enhancing the security of NATO's eastern flank and reinforcing our resilience to hybrid threats. @MAERomania
The decision to strengthen cooperation between the #USA and the Nordic-Baltic countries on safeguarding critical infrastructure is a crucial& timely move for bolstering the security of the transatlantic space.
We must take decisive, collective action to deter adversaries& defend what‘s ours.
There's no fast track to just& lasting peace in #Ukraine. Peace is impossible without strength, so we have to strengthen 🇺🇦. Long-term commitment is key. Lithuania has committed to allocate 0.25% of GDP for the next 10 years. A clear signal – we stand with Ukraine& will continue doing so
Tanks cannot crush freedom. Oppression cannot silence it. Violence cannot intimidate it.
The spirit of Lithuanian freedom remained unbroken through decades of occupation, helping our nation break free from the Soviet prison.
On Freedom Defenders' Day, we honor those who courageously defended our country. We remember the sacrifices that earned us our freedom. We stand in solidarity with nations still fighting for it.
