R. Kaunas, in response to remarks from R. Žemaitaitis regarding the proposed military training ground in Lithuania, stressed that the primary goal of the ruling coalition is to make critical decisions for the nation. He expressed concerns that if the coalition fails to do so, its purpose may be questioned. Kaunas implied that Žemaitaitis's fluctuating opinions appear to be influenced by changing political winds, suggesting a lack of consistency in his stance on the issue.

Moreover, Kaunas expressed confidence that there would be sufficient support in the Seimas, Lithuania's parliament, for fulfilling the country’s defense needs. His remarks came amid broader discussions on military readiness and territorial security, underscoring the ongoing debates about national defense policies within the coalition. He asserted that establishing a military training ground is essential for enhancing Lithuania's defense capabilities, aligning with the strategic importance placed on national security.

In contrast, Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė chose not to comment extensively on these coalition dynamics, advocating for patience until the parliamentary votes take place. The Presidential Office also highlighted the importance of facilitating timely decisions regarding national defense, indicating that the coalition's unity is essential for addressing these pressing matters effectively.
