Lithuania’s former foreign affairs minister Gabrielius Landsbergis says his country needs a stronger NATO response as Russia escalates pressure. He argues that while Lithuania can take steps, there is a limit to what it can do on its own.
In the commentary reported by Euronews, Landsbergis focuses on the risk of “hybrid” attacks, including actions that fall short of a conventional military strike. He says these threats should be addressed by allied measures rather than relying solely on national efforts. The outlet presents his view in the context of broader concerns about European security and deterrence, emphasizing that Allied mitigation is expected to play a role in countering Russian tactics.
The coverage centers on the Lithuanian perspective—what authorities in the country believe they need from NATO—as opposed to detailing specific operational plans or immediate policy decisions. It reflects a call for coordination at the alliance level to reduce the impact of escalation and potential hybrid threats.
