Lithuanian secret services warn that Russia is expanding its military units at NATO borders, preparing for a possible conflict in the next six years.

The intelligence services of Lithuania have issued a warning regarding the expansion of Russian military units along NATO's borders, suggesting that they could be used as strategic points in a potential conflict with the Alliance. According to estimates, if Western sanctions are lifted, Russia could be capable of developing an army 30-50% larger than before the war, equipped with modern technology and fully restored weapon reserves, thus preparing for conventional military operations against NATO.

The report emphasizes that Russia's objectives include gaining complete control over Ukraine and influencing the balance of power in Europe. It also mentions that the Russian military industry, supported by China, is becoming increasingly less dependent on Western technology. Lithuania, a NATO and EU member, remains vigilant, considering recent incidents related to critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, and NATO has promised to strengthen its presence in the region.
