Minister of Defense of Lithuania
The Minister of Defense of Lithuania has been actively involved in addressing growing security concerns in the region due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and perceived threats from Russia. Since Lithuania's accession to the Ottawa Convention in 2003, the minister has noted a significant deterioration in regional security, prompting substantial investments in military resources, including a commitment to increase defense spending to 5.5% of GDP. This proactive stance reflects Lithuania's strategy to bolster its defenses amid fears of becoming a potential target in any future conflict involving NATO and Russia.
