Fuel prices in Europe are raising significant concerns, and Lithuania, in response to the challenges, is considering various measures, including fuel price caps and taxes on excess profits, in order to reduce the financial burden on consumers. #degalaikainos #Europa #Lietuva (translated)

In my understanding, the most important thing is that defense funding is used purposefully for necessary acquisitions. Because, as experience has shown, the ministry must respond very dynamically and actively to changes in this market, the arms market – both in acquisitions and the emergence of new technologies, not remaining a passive observer. Members of the National Security and Defense Committee of the Seimas and former Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anušauskas believe that the use of nearly 44% of the funding allocated to the Ministry of National Defense (KAM) this year does not, in itself, indicate any problems. #gynyba #finansavimas #Lietuva (translated)

The trajectory drawn for defense funding last year, when the rise was truly drastic, (...) was already with huge discounts on what is actually needed to have defense capabilities by 2030. It was a significant compromise with defense needs. The chairman of the National Alliance, member of the Seimas NSGK Vytautas Sinica states that the funding planned for next year will not be enough to develop the planned military capabilities. #gynyba #finansavimas #Lietuva (translated)

Politicians' views on defense funding differ; the opposition doubts whether the government's planned 5% of GDP funding in 2026 will be sufficient for developing military capabilities, while the ruling party emphasizes the efficient use of funds and adherence to commitments. #gynyba #finansavimas #Lietuva (translated)

It seems we cannot influence anything at all regarding the emergence of that well. The only thing we can do is to prepare preventively so that if some kind of accident occurs, we can effectively and quickly localize it to prevent the pollution from spreading. After the information surfaced that the Russian concern "Lukoil" is seeking to exploit an oil field in the Baltic Sea near the Curonian Spit, the chairman of the Seimas Environment Protection Committee, Linas Jonauskas, stated that Lithuania cannot influence this in any way. #Rusija #BaltijosJūra #Lukoil (translated)

In my opinion, the best policy is to prepare in advance. Sometimes it is better to exercise even excessive caution, rather than throwing up your hands and blaming something for not working after an incident. It is better to take additional safety measures in time to prevent risks than to react too late. The decision to involve armed forces to assist in the defense of Lithuania's border with Russia has been made by responsible state administration institutions reaching a consensus, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda stated in an interview with the portal "15min.lt". #Lietuva #drošība #robeža (translated)
