The Lithuanian military reports that hostile states have intensified focus on the Kapčiamiestis training ground, perceiving it as a provocative element in regional security dynamics.
In January, the Lithuanian military observed that propagandistic channels from hostile nations have honed in on the Kapčiamiestis training ground, suggesting that it forms part of a broader strategy aimed at military confrontation. Analysts believe this communication seeks to project the narrative that Lithuania’s defense initiatives are aggressive in nature. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed that the actions of the Baltic states, including Lithuania, are intended to provoke Russia and Belarus into a response, which could then be leveraged to rally support from the European Union and NATO.
