Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys says Lithuania would act quickly to shift to a “war footing” if Russia attacks the country. He made the comments on the sidelines of a European ministers meeting in Ireland.
The meeting brings together EU foreign ministers alongside counterparts from Ukraine, the UK, Iceland, Norway and Canada, with deteriorating European security described as the central topic. Across the coverage provided, the emphasis is on readiness planning and how European partners are discussing the wider security situation, rather than on specific details of any particular operational steps.
Euronews reports the same core message in both versions: Budrys signals a fast response posture, while the broader context is a coordinated diplomatic discussion among European and allied states amid heightened security concerns.
