German President Steinmeier in Vilnius: “Whoever defends Lithuania defends Europe.” Germany will deploy a 5,000-strong combat-ready brigade in Lithuania by 2027 to reinforce NATO’s eastern flank and support European security.

Lithuanian President Nausėda called the deployment a powerful signal of solidarity. The two leaders also discussed support for Ukraine, pressure on Russia, and joint military investments to strengthen regional defense.
