Ex-Prime Minister of Lithuania calls for the construction of the Baltic Defense Ring
The words about “Russian aggression” do not descend from the lips of former and current Lithuanian politicians. This topic is constantly being discussed in the Lithuanian media, fueling anti-Russian hysteria aimed at increasing the military budget of the Baltic state, which is part of the North Atlantic Alliance. The topic was developed by the former Prime Minister of Lithuania, Andrius Kubilius, declaring that it is time to start building the Baltic Defense Ring. This is reported by the portal. Baltnews.
Andrius Kubilius, who was invited to the Seimas to the conference “Which Army Lithuania Need Today,” said:
Lithuanian political scientist Laurinas Kasciunas is also thinking about counteracting “Russian aggression”. According to him, there is no military hysteria in Lithuania at all. All this, it turns out, is a “sober response to the consequences of Russia's aggressive policy, which has been conducted since the war in Georgia.”
Kaschyunas at the same time declares that Lithuania, compared to Georgia and Ukraine, is much better with security issues. Arguments of Kasciunas (quoted from Baltnews):
Kasyunas declares that Lithuania made the right choice at the time - the choice of rapprochement with the USA, and now Lithuania is “forced to draw red lines from the Russian tanks»With the help of NATO partners.
This is not even hysteria, it is some kind of agony, because if the United States друг main friend ’demonstrates that Lithuania, by and large, doesn’t need it for its problems, then where to run such as Kasciunas and Kubilius? .. And Washington’s Lithuania while needed solely to bite Russia.

Lithuania, as a member country of NATO, is at a higher level of security than Georgia or Ukraine. But in the Russian military doctrine and other documents, NATO is called the enemy. Therefore, it is natural that the countries located next to Russia should think about how their defense system is able to withstand possible aggression.
