For the sixth year in a row, more Lithuanian citizens returned home than left. Every return brings home international experience, new skills and ideas that help Lithuania grow.

NATO is stronger when Europe does more – not instead of NATO, but complementary with NATO.
In @ForeignPolicy, FM @BudrysKestutis says the Ankara Summit must send a strong message that Allies are united.
On this Memorial Day, we join the American people in remembering and honoring the brave 🇺🇸 military men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom.
Today and every day, we stand together shoulder to shoulder. 🇱🇹🇺🇸
Another drone. Another air alert in the Baltics. This time - near Lithuania’s border with Belarus. #NATO Baltic Air Policing was activated.
These drone incidents don’t exist in isolation. The growing wave of drone violations across the Baltic states is a direct consequence of Russia’s war against #Ukraine and #Belarus’ complicity in it. Moscow and Minsk are responsible for breaches of our airspace and threats to civilian safety.
Meanwhile, Russia continues its information offensive - falsely accusing Baltic states of enabling drone strikes against Russia. Lithuania has never allowed its territory or airspace to be used for such attacks.
The NATO& EU response cannot stay symbolic:
-NATO’s relevant capabilities - Eastern Sentry and Baltic Sentry missions - must be reinforced
- EU Eastern Flank Watch initiative must be implemented& Special EU instrument for resilience of Eastern Flank urgently created - NATO’s frontline needs air defense& stronger counter-drone capabilities - EU critical infrastructure protection must be strengthened, as well as measures to counter Kremlin’s propaganda narratives
🇱🇹 Two Vilnius developments – BIO CITY and Vilnius City Innovation Industrial Park – have been named among the Top 10 Most Attractive Investment Projects in the region. Together, they highlight Lithuania’s rise as one of Europe’s fastest-growing life sciences and innovation hubs.
Pentasweet’s €65M brazzein factory is now under construction in Vilnius, the first of its kind in Europe. It will strengthen Europe’s life sciences ecosystem, with operations planned for H1 2027.
Two Lithuanian founders made it onto Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list: Mykolas Karpičius (Cannumo) with ~€3M revenue in gut health, and Gustas Germanavičius (InRento) with €90M+ financed across 6 markets. Another signal of Lithuanian startups competing internationally.
🇱🇹 Proud moment for Lithuanian science. Japan will award Prof. Virginijus Šikšnys the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon for strengthening academic ties and long-standing scientific cooperation between Lithuania and Japan. Congratulations!
Glad to hear positive signals from the U.S. State Department and Congress about 🇺🇸 firm commitment to standing with the Baltic allies.
Lithuania is indeed leading the charge in NATO! There is no one more devoted to the collective defense, and we are proving it by investing into our armed forces and 🇱🇹 defense industry.
'Freedom for Lithuania!' 52 yrs ago Romas Kalanta set himself on fire in the street of Kaunas, protesting against the Soviet occupation. It caused panic among Soviet authorities, who tried to cover up his funeral. Romas’ memory is a symbol of our struggle against occupation.
Another strong vote of confidence in Lithuania’s fintech ecosystem: following approval from the Bank of Lithuania, Lloyds Banking Group is set to acquire Curve Europe. It is further proof that global players, from Robinhood to Revolut, continue choosing Lithuania to grow.
Happy Europe Day! 🇱🇹🇪🇺
Europe is strongest when we stand united, resilient, and ready to act.
As Lithuania prepares for the EU Council Presidency in 2027, we are ready to work for a stronger Europe - strengthening security, standing firmly with Ukraine, advancing competitiveness and enlargement, and reinforcing the resilience of Europe’s eastern border.
To mark the Europe Day, Los Angeles City Hall will be illuminated in the colors of the European Union this evening after the sunset around 8 PM ahead of Europe Day on May 9th.🇪🇺🇱🇹

@vinted completed an €880M secondary share sale, reaching an €8B valuation, a clear signal of investor demand. In 2025, the Lithuanian-born company grew GMV 47% to €10.8B, generated €1.1B revenue and €62M profit. A milestone for Vinted and LT’s rising €16.4B tech ecosystem.
History tells that brutal dictators must be stopped until the price gets too high. Kremlin publicly embraces the USSR's crimes as its legacy. No amount of historical distortion can vindicate the Soviets' own role as occupiers. Occupation is not liberation. #WordsMatter
May 1945 did not mean the end of the war for Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The USSR occupied the countries, used military force to crush the efforts to restore the statehood after WWII, and engaged in history distortion, hiding its crimes. Such “liberators” are called occupiers.
🇱🇹 Lithuania has received its first credit rating upgrade in six years, as Fitch raised its long-term foreign currency rating from A to A+. Strong momentum: manufacturing output +33.5%, services exports more than doubled, GDP +2.9% in 2025, with 3.1% growth projected for 2026.
Vilnius Space Days 2026 invites global space leaders to Vilnius, Lithuania, on 6 May to shape Europe’s space future. As geopolitical dynamics shift, space is becoming essential to Europe’s resilience, security and strategic autonomy – making such dialogue more vital than ever.
Soviet Union is as guilty for triggering WWII as Nazi Germany. Two countries concluded the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which secretly divided the region into zones of influence, and both conspired to invade Poland. Nazis’ surrender did not bring freedom to the Baltic States.
2 states. 3 centuries. 5 values: freedom, equality, unity, reform, courage. Today marks 235 years of the May 3 Constitution (1791) – Europe’s first and the world’s second. A bold Polish–Lithuanian pact for a modern, sovereign state. Its message endures: the state begins with us.
