Lithuania has presented a 48km-deep defense plan on its borders with Russia and Belarus, including minefields and strategic obstacles.

Lithuania, along with Poland and the other Baltic states, is fortifying its borders with Russia and Belarus with a complex defense plan. It includes a 48km defense strip with minefields, bridges ready for demolition and obstacles inspired by Ukrainian techniques. The project, dubbed the 'Baltic defense line', is aimed at slowing down a possible Russian invasion, given the vulnerabilities in the region. Lithuania has started work on fortifications, including 'engineering parks', and is upgrading its military equipment, with a high defence budget.
