Today we celebrate Lithuania’s diplomats and thank them for their dedication and service.
Every day, our diplomats work to strengthen Lithuania’s security, deepen strategic partnerships, support our citizens abroad and advance our national interests.
In today’s world, diplomacy matters more than ever. Tėvynės labui!🇱🇹

Belarus continues to support Russia’s war against Ukraine and carry out hybrid attacks against its neighbours. With no evidence of a change in its behaviour, there is no reason to lift EU sanctions, Foreign Minister @BudrysKestutis told Poland’s @Rzeczpospolita.
Михась Чарот
“Прысяга”
Я не чакаў
І не гадаў,
Бо жыў з адкрытаю душою,
Што стрэне лютая бяда,
Падружыць з допытам,
З турмою.
Прадажных здрайцаў ліхвяры
Мяне заціснулі за краты.
Я прысягаю вам, сябры,
Мае палі,
Мае бары,-
Кажу вам—я не вінаваты!

At #UNGA81 Third Committee, Lithuania, on behalf of the #NB8 🇩🇰🇪🇪🇫🇮🇮🇸🇱🇻🇱🇹🇳🇴🇸🇪, highlighted Belarus’s growing disregard for human rights, at home and beyond its borders.
Belarus actively supports Russia’s war of aggression, increasingly generates hybrid threats against its neighbours, including the instrumentalisation of migrants, and is complicit in the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children. It must stop.
belarus keeps tightening its grip on human rights:
▪️Dismantles civil society and independent media
▪️Jails opponents on political charges and uses torture, including sexual & gender-based violence
▪️Targets Belarusians abroad through transnational repression
▪️Specifically targets women activists, journalists and human rights defenders
▪️ Treats political prisoners as bargaining chips
Releases must be unconditional, with no coercion, forced exile or further punishment.

Within hours today, #Lithuania faced two serious security incidents. Overnight, a sabotage attempt targeting Starlink infrastructure near Vilnius was thwarted. Its purpose was clear: to undermine a capability critical to #Ukraine’s defence and civilian communications.
This morning, an unidentified UAV violated Lithuanian airspace, posing a risk to our citizens and their property.
Both incidents are a direct consequence of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and its wider repercussions for European security. Hybrid attacks, sabotage, and airspace incursions threaten critical infrastructure, spread fear, and seek to undermine European support for Ukraine.
Lithuania supports, and will continue to support Ukraine in exercising its inherent right of self-defence, in full accordance with Article 51 of the #UN Charter. We also urge Russia to immediately cease its aggression against Ukraine.
We remain vigilant. Attacks against our critical infrastructure will be investigated, exposed, and met with resolve. We stand with our Allies and with Ukraine.

Great news - the first returning U.S. rotation troops have landed on Lithuanian soil. Together, we are stronger! 🇱🇹🇺🇸
Many thanks to @realDonaldTrump for making this happen.

Met with IAEA Director General @rafaelmgrossi in Warsaw.
Astravets nuclear power plant remains a serious concern for #Lithuania. Its expansion would increase unacceptable risks. We expect strong #IAEA engagement to ensure nuclear safety, transparency and implementation of recommendations.
Regional nuclear safety also requires continued IAEA engagement in #Ukraine.

It was a pleasure to meet Nobel Peace Prize laureat Ales Bialiatski who was in Copenhagen to meet many friends and defenders of Human Rights. His three decades fight against dictatorship, repression and crimes against humanity deserve respect and recognition in the world.

Welcome to Lithuania, legend! 🇱🇹🏀
Shaquille O’Neal is visiting the home of @NordVPN – where we’re going big on cybersecurity, just like @SHAQ. 🔐
DYK? A 2026 @securitydotorg survey shows that 1 in 4 VPN users in the 🇺🇸 use 🇱🇹-founded NordVPN, making it the most-used VPN brand.
#Forbes highlights #Lithuania’s emerging data centre industry as established hubs face grid constraints and rising power demand. With 76% of electricity generated from renewables, Lithuania is building the foundations for future data centre growth. 💛💚❤️
One of #Lithuania’s greatest strengths is its talent. 60.8% of 25–34-year-olds hold a tertiary qualification – 3rd highest in the EU, well above the EU average of 44.8%. A highly educated population gives Lithuania a strong foundation for innovation, productivity and growth.

Today we remember the victims of resistance, buried by the Soviets in the Tuskulėnai mass grave from 1944 to 1947. Among the executed were Lithuanians, Russians, Poles and others. Such brutal practices Russia perpetuates against innocent people in Ukraine.

🇱🇹🇪🇺 100 days to go until Lithuania takes the helm of the Council of the #EU! We’re ready to help 27 Member States find common ground and come together for collective action.
The #LT27EU warm-up starts now.
🇱🇹🇪🇺 100 Days to Go.
Lithuania’s warm-up for the #EU Council Presidency begins today.
Just as we build endurance, find our pace, and unite our team before a marathon, today we begin preparing for a responsibility that will require leadership, focus, and teamwork.
In 100 days, #Lithuania will step onto the European starting line - bringing countries together, fostering dialogue, and working towards solutions that strengthen Europe as a whole.
This journey begins now. Together, let us build trust, strengthen our unity, and work hand in hand toward a shared goal: a strong, secure, and resilient Europe.
🇱🇹 #LT27EU

W @StateDept spotkałem się z @johnpcoale Rozmawialiśmy o sytuacji mniejszości PL na Białorusi, Związku Polaków, więźniach politycznych i generalnie możliwościach polepszenia sytuacji wewnątrz Białorusi. Jestem wdzięczny za jego zaangażowanie w moje uwolnienie

I have just received confirmation that the new rotation of U.S. troops is already on its way to Lithuania!
We are grateful to @POTUS Donald Trump and the U.S. administration for this decision, which is important not only for Lithuania, but also for the security of the entire region.
The U.S. military presence in Lithuania is an indispensable part of our deterrence and collective defense.

What happens in Belarus concerns the Belarusian people and, European democratic security as a whole.
At the Ministerial side-event on Belarus hosted by @LatviaUN_NY and @EUatUN, I reaffirmed the Council of Europe’s support for democratic forces and civil society, including through our Contact Group and Information Point in Vilnius.
A democratic and independent Belarus means a better future for its people and a more secure Europe.

Joined a side-event on Belarus at the EU Delegation in New York, alongside @Braze_Baiba, @Tsihanouskaya, @alain_berset, @TKajzer, @KajsaOllongren, @jamiemfly, and other partners.
Belarus is Russia's accomplice in the war against Ukraine. Its territory, infrastructure, and resources continue to serve Russia's war machine.
Belarusian oil refineries are fueling Russia's war effort, and signal relay equipment on Belarusian soil is used to support drone attacks against us.
Belarus's other borders have long been exploited for security threats against Europe, including irregular migration used to destabilize our neighbors.
Lukashenka and his regime's senior officials must face justice before the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression, just like Putin and his circle.
There can be no wishful thinking about the Minsk regime — it has no independent agency from Moscow. Pressure on both regimes must be applied without exceptions or compromises.
We must also distinguish Lukashenka's regime from the Belarusian people, who made their democratic choice clear in 2020. A free Belarus is not just a dream — it is essential to the security of our whole region. Easing pressure now would send Moscow and Minsk exactly the wrong signal: that aggression pays off.
I want to separately highlight our cooperation with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, whose briefing was part of today's event.
Ukraine has strengthened its dialogue with her and the Belarusian democratic forces, and I support the sanctions proposals she and her team have put forward.
At @MFA_Ukraine we appointed Ambassador-at-Large for Cooperation with Belarusian Democratic Forces to deepen this partnership.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys and I met yesterday to strengthen our political and security cooperation in Europe. I welcomed Lithuania reaching its Hague defense spending target ahead of schedule, an important demonstration of its commitment to NATO and our shared security.
