Lithuania's President Gitanas Nausėda has claimed victory in Sunday's run-off election after a campaign dominated by European security concerns. "Your vote gives me a mandate.

Lithuania has been a staunch ally of Ukraine since the 2022 Russian invasion and Nausėda indicated that that support would continue into his new presidential term. According to a poll carried out by ELTA/Baltijos Tyrimai earlier this year, more than half of Lithuan...

The existing coordinates were approved in 1985, the ministry says; adding they were “based on small-sc...

Not only has the war in Ukraine dragged on, but Russia is deepening military integration with neighbouring Belarus, deploying dozens of tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil. Nearby Poland is now bracing for further Russian mobilisation, calling on a “heavy brigade” of European Union defences in response. Putin’s dream of a new Russian Empire is not to be taken lightly. But an aggressive Russia is hardly the only obstacle to peace and prosperity in the region. Lukashenko’s regime ...
