NATO’s nuclear deterrence

High level seminar on Strategic Implications of Russia’s Nuclear Weapons for NATO’s Military Support of Ukraine and the Defence of the Baltic States

Key takeaways are that western societies need to discuss these topics, raising the “Nuclear IQ” of the population and not to avoid these hard but necessary questions, while Russia becomes increasingly aggressive in its nuclear rhetoric. This was also echoed to several media outlets, with our guests giving interviews for Lithuanian news outlets and television.

German jounalists visit in Lithuania 2024

We took part at the NATO exercise Quadriga 2024, visited military training areas in Rūdninkai where construction of the infrastructure for the German soldiers is taking place.

Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Baltic states organized a three-day visit for a group of German journalists to Lithuania. The goal of the visit was to give them a first-hand look into how Lithuania’s society and political institutions deal with threats to its sovereignty and to get a better understanding of why this nation is such a resolute supporter of Ukraine and so much in favour of increasing military expenditure.
