CBS News reported the program alongside a message to President Putin that the country “doesn’t fear” him. The government frames the drills as preparation for a possible invasion, not an active combat deployment.

Yahoo and UA.NEWS noted that other Baltic states are also bolstering defences, while Ukrainian National News highlighted NATO’s lack of a clear red line for invoking Article 5. The next focus will be any NATO clarification or formal response to Lithuania’s civilian preparedness.
