The Minister of Internal Affairs of Lithuania, Agne Bilotaite, said that a national mass evacuation plan will be developed in the country by the beginning of October.

Points of attention

  • Lithuania is developing a nationwide evacuation plan in connection with the growth of cyber attacks and the threat from Russia.
  • The Ministry of Internal Affairs emphasizes the need to increase the level of civil protection as an important priority.
  • Lithuania will cooperate with other countries to coordinate civil protection measures and apply for funding from the European Union.
  • A militant from Latvia spoke about Russia's potential plans for the Baltic states and the war in Ukraine.

A national evacuation plan will be prepared in Lithuania

The Minister of Internal Affairs of Lithuania, Agne Bilotaite, believes that the country needs to have a national evacuation plan and be ready to implement it.

Each self-government has its own evacuation plan, but we need a nationwide plan to be ready for its implementation, said Agne Bilotaite.

The Minister of Internal Affairs of Lithuania also emphasized that due to the increase in cyber-attacks, the safety of the population has become a priority, and the issue of civil protection is more relevant than ever before.

The Russian Federation's war against Ukraine continues, our region faces hybrid and disinformation attacks, and sabotage has become part of our new reality. We are on the front line, so civil defense is a priority today, - Bilotaite explained.

According to her, it is not enough to strengthen civil defense only at the national level, so Lithuania will work together with other Baltic countries and apply for funding from the European Union.

We have to coordinate our actions at the regional and European level. It is expensive, but it is important to join our efforts and get the support of the EU. We call for a risk assessment to better understand the threats and strengthen measures to protect the population, the minister added.

The "Latvian" soldier spoke about the plans of the Russian Federation to seize the Baltic states

"Latvian" - a fighter of the 3rd OShBr, a volunteer from Latvia, an ex-fighter of "Kraken" in an interview about when Putin will attack the Baltic countries - Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, about how Latvians support Ukraine and the Russian Zhduns in Latvia, who and how to prepare for war, as well as about AZOV, Centuria, Nord Storm and Cult of the Knife.

In 2017, Mykyta came to Ukraine for a few days, but remained here until now. Together with his brothers, he created the "Knife Cult", which teaches self-defense techniques with a knife, and the Nord Storm formation, whose members now fight as part of various units.

Currently, "Latvian" is a fighter of the 3rd Assault, in which he fights not only for the freedom and independence of Ukraine, but also for the safety of Latvia.
