In a recent statement, M. Sinkevičius, the leader of the political party, commented on R. Žemaitaitis' fluctuating rhetoric concerning the establishment of the Kapčiamiesčio polygon. Sinkevičius highlighted that the upcoming vote will be a significant determinant of the actual stance of different political figures, indicating that rhetoric alone may not reflect true beliefs. He stated that 'the vote will show everything' regarding what was previously said by the politicians involved.

R. Žemaitaitis, in a prior radio interview, expressed doubt that his party, the 'Nemuno aušros' faction, would support the establishment of the military training area, which contrasts with the defense ministry's plans to divide the Kapčiamiesčio polygon into two functional zones for maneuvering and live-fire shooting ranges. This inconsistency in messages has led to speculation about the cohesion of the coalition and their support for military initiatives.

Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė refrained from commenting on these inconsistencies, urging patience for the parliament's vote. As the Ministry of National Defence plans to introduce the relevant legislation during the parliamentary spring session, the outcome of this vote will be crucial for shaping the future of military training in Lithuania, particularly as the nation continues to navigate its defense strategies and commitments amid regional security concerns.
