According to him, by 2028 the country reconstructed 113 km of roads and 8 bridges in a key land route between the Baltic States and Poland. In addition, Lithuania will build the second transport route for transportation of weapons from Poland to ensure the safety of the Squals isthmus.
Currently, Lithuania has two major roads that cross the corridor: one of them leading from Lithuanian Kaunas to Warsaw is part of Via Baltica's military corridor, and the other is a regular route between the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius and the Polish city of Augustus. "These roads are critical to us in terms of security and defense. They have always been part of our civilian-military planning as key land routes to support allies during the crisis," Godlyuskas stressed.
He added that security measures go beyond physical infrastructure. "We are discussing how to counteract the forgery and deafness of GPS by Russia, which are already affecting our civilian aviation and navigation systems," Godlyuskas explained. In addition, new measures are envisaged to ensure borders, including checkpoints and blocking systems, such as cement barriers.
Journalists emphasized that in the case of Russia's hypothetical war, it would be important to quickly capture the Squals isthmus to cut off the NATO allies on land to the Baltic States. We will remind, on April 7, the journalists of The Telegraph reported that the Baltic countries are building a "defense line" against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but may not have time.
