Today in Warsaw, together with Polish President @NawrockiKn, we commemorate the 235th anniversary of the Mutual Pledge of the Two Nations.
Adopted on 20 October 1791, this act supplemented the Constitution of 3 May by explicitly establishing the parity of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania within the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Back then, we were united by a shared commitment to preserve our statehood. Today 🇱🇹&🇵🇱 continue working together to build a secure, resilient and united Europe!

A warm meeting with Polish President @NawrockiKn. The main topic – resilience of our countries and societies.
Both 🇱🇹 and 🇵🇱 face hybrid attacks, cyber attacks, sabotage and disinformation campaigns. Repeated airspace violations and interference with global satellite navigation signals are becoming a new reality.
🇱🇹 & 🇵🇱 must remain vigilant and resilient. We focus on protecting critical infrastructure, urgently finding effective solutions to counter UAVs, and strengthening air defence.

Met with CERN Council President Prof. Costas Fountas to discuss Lithuania’s long-standing cooperation with CERN and ambition to become a full member of @CERN.

Full membership would provide more opportunities for Lithuania to contribute to European science, technology, and overall competitiveness.

Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is spilling over onto the Eastern flank of NATO and EU.
This morning, NATO fighter jets stationed at Šiauliai Air Base scrambled once again after an unidentified object entered Lithuanian airspace.
What appears to be a drone exploded over the northern part of the country, posing a danger to the civilian population. Our specialists are currently working at the site.

Great news - the first returning U.S. rotation troops have landed on Lithuanian soil. Together, we are stronger! 🇱🇹🇺🇸
Many thanks to @realDonaldTrump for making this happen.
In a phone call with @eucopresident António Costa, I stressed the need for the EU to focus on supporting Ukraine and phasing out Russian energy resources.
At the #EUCO# this week, I expect a serious discussion on competitiveness and #MFF# priorities. The EU’s eastern flank must get the attention it deserves!

Today, I observed “Thunder of Perkūnas 26”, the largest military exercise of the year.
During the exercise, the Lithuanian Armed Forces train to carry out tasks set out in national defense plans in coordination with NATO forces, the Ministry of the Interior, and other agencies.
Joint operations with NATO are a particularly important element of the exercise. We are not alone — the deployment of U.S. and German military units in Lithuania is clear evidence of that.
These joint exercises further strengthen our readiness to defend ourselves together, if necessary, and to protect the freedom and values we all share.
