VILNIUS, Lithuania – Lithuanian leaders hailed a “historic event” as Germany on Monday began deploying troops in the Baltic country – a NATO member – marking the first time since World War II that German forces will be based outside the country on a long-term basis.
In the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, Defense Minister Laurynas Kasciunas said that the move was “a great example” for all the countries on NATO’s eastern flank, on the border with Russia and its ally, Belarus. “We will create such a defense and deterrence architecture that no adversary from the east will even think about testing NATO´s Article 5,” he told reporters.
Under an agreement, Lithuania is preparing military bases for the German brigade to be deployed in this Baltic state bordering Russia´s Kaliningrad exclave to the west and Belarus to the east.
