I would like to emphasize two key aspects of these exercises. First of all, Ukraine's struggle has clearly shown us that not just an army is defending, but the entire state. These exercises address this need precisely. We must all act as one, and to do that, we must be as prepared as possible. We are not alone – this is clearly demonstrated by the deployment of U.S. and German military units in Lithuania. Joint exercises further enhance our readiness to defend together if necessary, to protect the freedom and values of us all. If we want to maintain peace, real qualitative preparedness is exactly what is needed. #NATO #karinėspratybos #gynimoaktyvumas (translated)
