Every NATO ally should join the 5% Club – this is Lithuania's message at the #AnkaraSummit.

Effective deterrence depends on our capabilities backed by investment. 5% for defence should be the floor, not the ceiling.

Less talk. More action. Join the 5% Club!

[Kęstutis Budrys @BudrysKestutis]

At the #AnkaraSummit, together with President @GitanasNauseda and Minister of Defense @robertas_kaunas, we are sending a clear message from Lithuania to our Allies: it's time to turn pledges into capabilities.

Join the 5% Club!

This is what all #NATO Allies committed to. #Lithuania is already in the 5% Club, but it's pretty lonely over here.

Security isn't built on promises - it’s built on capabilities backed by investment. If we are serious about deterrence, 5% for defence must be the floor, not the ceiling. Less talk. More action.

Lithuania has become one of Europe’s most dynamic startup hubs, driven by ambitious founders, a strong community, and a bias for action. The results speak for themselves: a €16.4B ecosystem, 39x growth in a decade, and 5 unicorns.

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

Kremlin constantly tries to whitewash its crimes past and present. russia has always pursued colonialist ambitions and used armed force to achieve its dirty goals. No bogus excuse can change facts - Soviet Union was an occupier. #WordsMatter

[Lithuanian Embassy Georgia @LTEmbassyGe]

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

[Lithuanian Embassy Georgia @LTEmbassyGe]

May 1945 did not mean the end of the war for Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. The USSR occupied us, 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.

[Lithuanian Embassy Georgia @LTEmbassyGe]

Soviet Union is as guilty for triggering WWII as Nazi Germany. Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact secretly divided the region, and both countries conspired to invade Poland. Both totalitarian regimes brought disastrous occupation and suppressed national identity. #WordsMatter

[Lithuanian Embassy Georgia @LTEmbassyGe]

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.

[Lithuanian Embassy Georgia @LTEmbassyGe]

Neither Nazis nor the USSR cared about international treaties. Deportation, murder, and terror followed territorial occupation. In 1944, the most brutal mechanisms of Stalin's totalitarian regime were in place: absolute transfer of power to Moscow, terror and political repression

[Lithuanian Embassy Georgia @LTEmbassyGe]

The self-proclaimed liberators are just another step in the Kremlin's consistent attempt to justify its brutal imperialism, notably in the war against Ukraine. Lies, manipulation, and absurd are their favourite tracks to play from the #disinformation playlist. #WordsMatter

[Lithuanian Embassy Georgia @LTEmbassyGe]

In 1944, the USSR reoccupied Lithuania and used military force to crush the efforts of Lithuanian citizens to restore statehood. The Soviet propaganda machine tried to normalise the occupation by calling it liberation. The Soviet Union didn't have its own Nuremberg. #WordsMatter

On April 9, we remember the defenders of Georgian freedom. Lithuania comprehends very well the ultimate price they paid. Today Embassies of the Nordic and Baltic countries honored the memory of the courageous Georgians at the memorial on Rustaveli Avenue.
