Lithuania considers joining military exercises in Greenland
Speaking to public broadcaster, Budrys emphasized that Lithuania’s security perspective extends beyond its immediate region and that contributing to allied missions abroad should remain an option. “We definitely should consider it,” he said, referring to the upcoming exercises. He added that these drills would be part of a continuing cycle of exercises discussed with allied countries.
Budrys stressed that Lithuania’s cooperation with partners has never been confined to its borders, the Suwalki Corridor, or the Baltic Sea. “We have our contribution that we can offer,” he said, noting that any deployment would be coordinated with allies and assessed for effectiveness.
Earlier this week, Germany, France, Sweden, and Norway announced a joint mission to Greenland, following unsuccessful talks in Washington between US, Danish, and Greenlandic officials over key disagreements concerning the territory.
The Arctic island has gained strategic attention after US President Donald Trump repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish region. The White House stated that the European troop deployment would not interfere with Trump’s plans regarding the island.
