NATO's reinforcement of its eastern flank is a response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Exercise #IronWolf demonstrates the military power of the Allied combat forces that #NATO provides for strong collective defence. #eFP BG ๐ฑ๐น units๐ฉ๐ช๐ณ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ด๐ง๐ช๐จ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐บ are ready!
#WeAreNATO
Historic day for ๐ฑ๐น-๐ฏ๐ต relations: today we welcomed Captain Eitaro Nakaoka, who is the first ๐ฏ๐ต Defence Attachรฉ to ๐ฑ๐น. Defence cooperation of our countries is increasing. Despite the distance, we have similarities in our security environment that draws us closer to each other.
๐ฑ๐น๐บ๐ธ Lithuania signed an agreement with the United States to acquire 300 additional Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV) for Lithuanian_Armed_Forces. By the end of 2024, we will have a total of 500. It will significantly reinforce the existing capabilities, increasing mobility & combat power.
We are #StrongerTogether , because we can rely on each other as a #Battlegroup . Everyone in #eFP BG ๐ฑ๐น has special skills - like this ๐ฉ๐ช CBRN company decontaminating ๐ณ๐ดCV-90 infantry fighting vehicles. That makes us a powerful force in defending our NATO eastern flank! #WeAreNato
๐บ๐ฆ Ukrainian defenders should be remembered not only today but every single day. And our support is the best way to show that we remember and will #StandWithUkraine , its people and defenders until the victory.
