Lithuania supports installing air defense systems on NATO's eastern flank

MADRID, 16 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The President of Lithuania, Gitanas Nauseda, expressed this Wednesday that he supports the idea of ​​installing air defense systems on the border between Poland and Ukraine, as well as on the entire eastern flank of NATO after a projectile fell on Polish territory.

"There is no doubt that Lithuania will support this position and will actively participate in the discussion on the deployment of air defense systems on the Polish-Ukrainian border, but we look further, we look at the entire eastern flank of NATO," he said. during a speech picked up by the LRT chain.

In this sense, he stressed that the NATO summit meeting held in Madrid in the summer served to address precisely the deployment of this type of system on the Eastern flank of the Alliance.

"I think this event (...) makes us reflect on how this principle, which we already approved in the final declaration, can be quickly applied," he stressed after Polish President Andrzej Duda ruled out an "intentional attack" against his country as a result of the explosion that resulted in the death of two people.
