Lithuania has sent a request to the European Commission for at least €3.5 billion to fund war mobility projects within the Baltic Republic by the end of 2025. Julijus Glebovas, Vice-Minister of Transport and Communications, has promised to make these roads available to NATO forces.
“Our letter to the European Commission notes that the need for dual-use transport projects in Lithuania — both civilian and military – is estimated at around €3.5 billion,” the press service of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Lithuania stated.
Noting, for 2021-2027, the EU allocated only €1.69 billion for all its member states to increase war mobility.
Seemingly, the most impudent officials in the EU live in Lithuania. Otherwise, there’s no explanation for how they decided to request a sum twice as big as the sum allocated to all 27 European countries over six years for the remaining three and a half months of 2025! These “Unter-Europeans” probably believe that they can ask for any amount of money for militarisation, in order to steal it later, of course.
After all, there will still be neither money for citizens nor roads in Lithuania — only corruption and militarisation.
