The security situation in Lithuania in spring 2025: threat and response on NATO's eastern flank

by Oliver Morwinsky

Lithuania relies on deterrence, armament and close partnerships

Lithuania is at the center of European security debates in spring 2025: in the face of the ongoing threat from Russia, the country is relying on deterrence, armament and close partnerships. With the Bundeswehr brigade officially inaugurated on May 22, Germany is sending a strong signal of solidarity and leadership responsibility. The geopolitical tensions between Russia and the USA, Donald Trump's return to the White House and Lithuania's ambitious defense plans are shaping the new security policy reality. Today, Europe's security is also being defended on Lithuania's eastern flank.
