“The largest force is the German Front Forces Battalion, led by Germany. There will be a rotation in July-August. We are grateful for the solidarity expressed by Germany, the other countries that are constantly here: the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium , often Luxembourg, Iceland, the Czech Republic are repeatedly, and Croatia is now finishing its rotation. The French troops, a contingent of 200 troops, arrive on Monday. This is also a large capacity, it is very important. ” R. Karoblis said at a press conference held in the Presidency on Wednesday after the meeting with the President and the Commander of the Armed Forces.
According to him, American soldiers will continue to work in Lithuania, but, as R. Karoblis pointed out, it is necessary to guarantee good conditions of service in Lithuania to attract allies.
“I hope to learn the good lessons from the presence of the American battalion here. The United States is here and it will be one way or another, we will continue to work.” It is clear that to attract NATO allies and at the same time provide military training for both Allies and for our army, more investment is needed in infrastructure, to guarantee training and adequate living conditions, “said R. Karoblis.
The Secretary of State assured that there was a constant discussion with the allies of the United States.
“We are constantly talking to the United States, both militarily and politically. One of the key points is whether we can properly receive allied troops and create the right conditions to prepare. It seems that the results of the lessons of this battalion should be good. If we demonstrate this and we continue to demonstrate it, we can expect the United States to continue in the same or different capacities. Of course, we must continue to invest in infrastructure, “added the Minister of National Defense.
