Here’s what recent news and statements indicate:
- Lithuania’s Stance on Sending Troops to Ukraine:
- Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė recently stated that her country is prepared to deploy troops into Ukraine as part of a training mission. However, it’s important to note that Kyiv has not specifically requested such action from Lithuania1.
- The Lithuanian government’s willingness to send troops aligns with the broader discussions within NATO about supporting Ukraine during the ongoing conflict with Russia.
- France’s Proposal and NATO’s Considerations:
- French President Emmanuel Macron suggested that NATO allies of Ukraine would “legitimately” have to consider putting boots on the ground in Eastern Europe if Russia broke through the front lines in Ukraine. This proposal has sparked discussions about troop deployment1.
- Momentum for deeper NATO commitments, including troop deployment, in Ukraine is “clearly” building, according to some experts2.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed concerns about the potential deployment of NATO soldiers in front of the Russian military, viewing it as a new round of escalating tensions1.
- Previous Lithuanian Support for Ukraine:
- After the outbreak of the war, Lithuania sent 50 of its M113 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. Additionally, Lithuania provided howitzers and a third of its 120-millimeter mortars to Kyiv3
