NATO countries are preparing for the Russian offensive

According to the Lithuanian president, over the next four to five years, the country will actively create units that will provide everything necessary to repel possible aggression.  In his opinion, a potential Russian offensive could be the next stage in the expansion of aggression to the West.

"We have an ambitious goal to establish national division fully equipped, to build all the necessary infrastructure by 2030. If the scenario will be like this — we still have about 4 to 5 years. If the sanctions are lift, we have even shorter period in order to prepare for the next stage of aggression," Nauseda said.
