🇱🇹 A country’s size need not limit the scale of its ambition. Lithuania ranks 32nd among 139 economies in the 2026 Global Innovation Index, its highest-ever position. Plenty to be proud of and a strong foundation for further growth.

Lithuania delivered a note of strong protest to Russia over its brutal onslaught on Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine. We call on Russia to stop its deplorable attacks against civilian targets. Lithuania stands with Ukraine – from day one, until victory. 🇺🇦

Russia's hybrid and sabotage operations are bringing NATO Allies closer together. To deter Russia, we must respond firmly and show that we will defend our red lines, Foreign Minister @BudrysKestutis tells the @WashTimes.

Concessions only encourage Russia to push further. We must respond with resolve - more support for Ukraine, tough sanction on the aggressor, and strenght. Russia must learn that every act of escalation comes at a cost.

Appeasement won’t stop aggression. Russia will keep testing Europe for as long as we allow it. #BalticSentry and #EasternSentry have shown that presence, deterrence and readiness work. Remarks by Lithuania’s Foreign Minister @BudrysKestutis.

33 years ago, the last Russian troops left Lithuania, ending half a century of occupation. Today, we proudly celebrate Freedom Day not as a distant memory, but as our living reality. Freedom and independence are what we believe in – and what we stand ready to defend at any cost!
