Honored to be quoted in @washingtonpost opinion article titled - As Putin presses his hybrid war, Europe presses the ‘snooze’. “We need deterrence by punishment … We are at war, and the first thing we need is to recognize we are at war.” #HybridThreats https://t.co/L5kvW9sfZ5

Zelensky goes to the front despite the chance that Russian troops will kill him. Putin doesn't go to the front for the same reason.

Interesting 🇱🇹 🇧🇾 comparison - either you are stuck in ”the Russian world” or you become part of 🇪🇺 and the West. Look at the difference - three decades ago they were more or less on the same economic level.

Lithuanian Airports 🇱🇹 has signed a contract with #British 🇬🇧 firm #ZahaHadidArchitects to design a new #ArrivalTerminal 🛬 at #VilniusAirport 🇱🇹, with construction planned to begin in 2027 & the terminal expected to open by the end of 2028. #UKinLT

Balloons carrying 1,000s of boxes of cigarettes have repeatedly disrupted flights in Lithuania leading the government to shut its border with Belarus. But what's behind it all? My report @TheWorld f/t @EitvydasB @cepa @eglod_katia @nestcentreorg Listen:

The Belarusian dictator admits that the thousands of giant balloons causing airport closures in Baltic nations are part of his operations to harm Europe. And STILL, the EU fails to blockade Belarus. As always, western weakness is complicit. https://t.co/KA1m2sdF77

On November 1 & 2, Lithuanians celebrate All Saints' and All Souls’ Days, or Vėlinės. Families from across the country visit their departed loved ones in cemeteries, illuminating them with candles. Tonight, usually dark cemeteries turn into a mesmerizing sea of flickering lights.

Today’s full-house Roundtable with Lithuanian civil society organisations in Vilnius was truly energising. Their perspectives on social priorities, resilience and civic participation are invaluable as Europe navigates growing challenges.

A pleasure to meet @SigitasMitkus in Vilnius 🇱🇹. Looking forward to working together ahead of the upcoming 🇱🇹 @EUCouncil Presidency. Our priorities are fully aligned: defence & security, competitiveness, #EUEnlargement, resilience & internal security & a strong social agenda.

This evening, Russian military planes violated Lithuanian air space. This is a blatant breach of international law and territorial integrity of Lithuania. Once again, it confirms the importance of strengthening European air defence readiness. @LithuaniaMFA will summon Russian

Lithuania🇱🇹 leads by example - allocating 5.38% of GDP to defence in the 2026 draft budget, becoming the first #NATO ally to hit the 5% mark. Our commitment to defence is resolute and will only grow stronger, whilst having criminal neighbours being constant only on one count –

I am very pleased that the @SenateForeign Relations Committee unanimously reported out my bill with @SenBlumenthal, @SenKatieBritt and @SenAmyKlobuchar to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law if they do not return the almost 20,000 Ukrainian children

Brave Ukrainian women, will never let us down. God bless them all, Heroes 🇺🇦❤️

Lithuania has secured EU funding for the establishment of LitAI, a €130M Artificial Intelligence centre set to become a leading regional hub for AI innovation. LitAI will develop practical AI solutions, strengthen digital sovereignty, and boost Lithuania's competitiveness.

Heartfelt congratulations to our close ally & friend Germany on #GermanUnityDay! 🇱🇹 deeply values its strong and trusted strategic partnership with 🇩🇪, based on shared values, common interests, and close cooperation. Litauen gratuliert Deutschland zum #TagderDeutschenEinheit!

Three years into Russia’s brutal war against #Ukraine, the share of Russian #LNG imports to Europe hasn’t dropped. Not by a single percent. Let that sink in. Every tanker offloaded in European ports brings more cash into the Kremlin’s war machine. This isn’t just about

#Ostravets Nuclear Station (Belarus), with white smoke rising, was visible as I departed today from Vilnius Airport to Stockholm. Somehow, we seem to have forgotten about the existence of this monster recently …

Delighted to be back at the @Marshall_Center (virtually) as a #speaker on the flagship course PASS 🌏 gathering participants from 50+ countries, discussing Russia’s Malign influence in Europe. @jamesnixey @EitvydasB @AtlanticCouncil @ISDP_Sweden

Back to the George C. Marshall Center in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. This time not as a student but as a speaker. Spoke on #hybridthreats: resilience is survival, deterrence is defense. If Russia feels no consequences, its hybrid war will intensify. A symbolic return after 3 decades.

Happy birthday, Čiurlionis!

I am quoted in Belgian daily @TijdHelp, in the article “Experts after drone invasion in Poland: ‘NATO is doing exactly what the Russians want: responding weakly’”, written by journalist Erik Ziarczyk. Thanks.
