After months of uncertainty over the US presence in the Baltics, there is good news for Estonia and Lithuania: US troops are returning. But the debate is growing about whether Europe can defend itself against Russia without key US capabilities and technology, all at a time when the West fears escalation from Russia – including against businesses in the EU.
Lithuanian President resident Gitanas Nauseda notes that although American troops are returning to Lithuania, their total numbers on the continent will decrease.
"It is one thing to treat these soldiers as some kind of potential military force in the event of a military conflict, another thing is to understand that the presence of these soldiers actually reduces the likelihood of a military conflict or military aggression. This is where I think we really need to give a very big plus to the fact that this decision has finally been made," G. Nausėda told LNK Žinioms.
