Lithuania has become the first NATO ally to exeed 5% of GDP to defence in 2026.
Our commitment to defence is resolute. Lithuania is a #TrustedAlly that leads by example.
The US needs allies that step up. Lithuania is leading NATO in defence spending, strengthening NATO’s frontline, improving conditions for US troops & buying US equipment. We are ready to further contribute to global security alongside the US. We take collective defence seriously.
Lithuania’s Ambassador to Ukraine warns that Russia is intensifying attacks on civilians, continuing to test our red lines. Only unity, stronger defence, and sanctions can isolate the aggressor and let it collapse under its own weight.
Minsk’s move to brand the European Humanities University - an accredited Belarusian university in exile in Vilnius - an “extremist organization” is outrageous.
It puts students, faculty, and families at serious risk and obstructs access to independent, unbiased education.
It is yet another hostile act by the Lukashenko regime against #Lithuania and the #EU. We stand ready to back the #EHU community.
OTD, in 1949, Kremlin started operation “Priboi”. Soviet occupant deported more than 90,000 people from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia to USSR at once, to suppress resistance to occupation. The majority of them were women and children. We draw resilience from our past.
Since last evening, nearly 1000 drones have been sent across 🇺🇦—killing civilians, tearing through residential buildings &damaging cultural heritage sites in broad daylight, like 17th-century churches in Lviv.
“russian culture” at its finest.
@LithuaniaMFA delegation held extensive consultations in Kyiv on strengthening coordination in IO, including on isolation of russia & accomplices. Main focus: turning international law into real consequences for russia’s aggression, deportation of 🇺🇦 children and other crimes.
4th EEAS Annual Report on Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference Threats is now out.
Today’s wars are not only fought with tanks and drones but with lies and algorithms too.

The life of Marija Rusteikaitė is an example of sincere dedication. During the Nazi occupation, she saved 15 Jews in the Vaiguva Manor shelter. She was awarded the Cross for the Rescue of the Living in 1992 and received the title of Righteous Among the Nations in 1996.
🇪🇪🇫🇮🇮🇸🇱🇻🇱🇹🇵🇱🇷🇴🇸🇪 stand in solidarity with 🇺🇦. In a joint statement, we condemned the decision by the IPC to allow athletes from aggressor 🇷🇺 and its accomplice 🇧🇾to be part of the 2026 Paralympic Winter Games and to display their state symbols. https://t.co/Q1HRNu8LUt 1/3
St. Casimir Fair, dating back to the 17th century, takes after a patron saint of Lithuania. Every year in early March, the Fair held in his honor is an occasion to mark the coming of spring, and to begin preparations for Easter. And a great opportunity to visit Vilnius!
The IPC: allows russia and Belarus to participate under their flags.
Also IPC: prohibits Ukraine to participate under their map. The actual, internationally recognized map.
Is there something you’re trying to tell us, @Paralympics?
🫶 Lithuania continues sending light to #Ukraine. Lithuania’s Diplomatic Service has raised €19,500 equaling to at least 40 electricity generator sets, which are crucial for survival amid Russia's attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure. 🇱🇹🤝🇺🇦
Russia was supposed to capture Kyiv in 3 days. Four years later,they are advancing at a snail’s pace.
"Three Days That Never Came" is a mini-documentary about Ukrainian resistance & courage against Russian aggression. It also shows how Ukraine adapted in the information space.
Today marks the fourth anniversary of Ukraine’s monumental resistance to Russia’s full-scale aggression.
The war continues for one reason only: Russia has not abandoned its imperial ambitions and continues to wage war and carry out terror against civilians. Our goal is to stop it.
We thank everyone who supports Ukraine and helps bring this war to an end.
For four long years, Ukraine has been defending itself against a full-scale invasion started by russia.
Let’s speak out about russia's crimes, let’s donate, let’s support Ukraine’s membership in the European Union. Slava Ukraini!
