Lithuania prepares evacuation plans as PM warns of growing Russian threats
"We're thinking about a variety of scenarios; not all of them are being discussed very much publicly," Lithuanian Prime Minister Sinkevicius told the BBC.
Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius announced that Lithuania has developed evacuation plans due to escalating threats from Russia, stating the country "will not surrender" if attacked. Sinkevicius told BBC Newsnight that Lithuanians feel "constantly threatened" by Russia, citing incidents like drones entering their airspace. He affirmed that as a NATO member, if attacked, "we will fight back... we will engage." This development follows increased Russian attacks near NATO borders, including a recent strike on a truck near Ukraine's border with Poland, as both sides intensify long-distance strikes targeting economic and military infrastructure.
