Nauseda warns Lithuania must adapt to dangerous world

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda used his annual address on June 16 to warn that the country is entering a more dangerous era, marked by war, hybrid threats, disinformation, political division and rapid technological change. Speaking to the Seimas, the country's parliament, Nauseda said Lithuania must strengthen its defence, protect democratic institutions and preserve social unity at a time when peace can no longer be taken for granted. The speech underscores growing security concerns in the Baltic region amid Russia's war in Ukraine and escalating hybrid attacks.
