What is being said in Lithuania about Russia's ability to continue the war against Ukraine
According to the information of the military intelligence of Lithuania, Russia is provided with resources for the war against Ukraine with the current intensity for at least two more years.
The reasons for this are high oil prices, circumvention of sanctions and government investment. The Counterintelligence Department and Lithuania's Military Intelligence Sereport Service said Russia had reformed and strengthened its battle-worn army in 2023. It was on track to expand its military capabilities along its border with NATO, including Finland, which joined the alliance last year.
The report says that Russian intelligence is trying to avoid sanctions imposed on the country's defence industry after it invaded Ukraine.
