I believe that from Lithuania's perspective this is not an attempt to escalate the conflict – it is done for deterrence purposes and to ensure that Lithuania has more options, taking into account the risks and various situations that may unexpectedly arise, to respond and address our challenges together with NATO allies who have such weapons and would be willing, in the worst-case scenario, to cooperate and intervene for the benefit of Lithuania, NATO, and Europe. #Lietuva #NATO #branduolinisginklas (translated)

The EU foreign ministers have just adopted nearly 1,600 new entries to the sanctions list targeting Russia's military-industrial complex. This is the most extensive expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started the war. Europe is once again demonstrating unity. Over half of these are related to the production chain of ballistic missiles. We are making the production of weapons that Russia uses to kill Ukrainians significantly more difficult, slower, and more expensive," Kaja Kallas stated. #UE #sancțiuni #Rusia (translated)

Nae Moromete wrote that he had heard rumors that Călin Georgescu was to be placed under house arrest that day. He indicated possible reasons such as the ongoing protests in front of the Central Arrest, which he said were intensifying with the arrival of the diaspora and the increasingly frequent publication of these protests, as well as the solidarity of some individuals inside with Georgescu, whom, according to the author, everyone referred to as "the Voivode." Moromete specified that the information was just rumors. #CălinGeorgescu #proteste #arest (translated)

Patria Prima argued that a rule signed by ANRE on October 9 would allow energy suppliers, starting in 2027, to dismiss complaints if they believe they contain inappropriate language or do not sufficiently describe the situation. The author stated that the rule does not define these terms and leaves the decision to the discretion of the complained firm. As examples, Patria Prima mentioned clients who contest a much larger bill or do not know how to explain why it seems incorrect to them. In the author's opinion, their complaints could be dismissed without the supplier checking the issue. Patria Prima also said that ANRE applies a similar rule to itself from 2024, which would allow the institution to ignore complaints about suppliers. The author claimed that the provision did not appear in the draft submitted for public debate and was introduced in the final form without ANRE specifying who requested it and why. Patria Prima stated that it had filed a complaint with ANRE and requested the cancellation of the rule, and if it is not withdrawn within 30 days, it will go to court. It also urged the public to share the information. #energie #ANRE #facturi (translated)
