Lithuania has launched the construction of permanent counter-mobility fortifications along portions of its border with Russia’s Kaliningrad to immediately protect vulnerable areas and send a strong message amid worsening relations. Defence Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas emphasized that "all friendships are over" with Russia. The project involves approximately 12 million euros of steel and concrete barriers designed to hinder military mobility. Lithuania’s Defence Ministry plans to continue reinforcing other border segments in the coming weeks. These measures represent a strategic military response to perceived threats from Russia, reinforcing Lithuania’s readiness and territorial defense along a critical frontier with a Russian exclave.
