VILNIUS, December 25. /NEWSBALTIC/. The Lithuanian authorities announced that, in 2025, more than 132,000 residents have completed distance military courses specialising on the mechanisms of mobilisation on a special website called “Mobilizacijos Mokykla” (“Mobilisation school”—Ed.) designed for these exact purposes.
Another 13,000 citizens participated in war trainings of various duration on the topics of civil resistance and resilience to hybrid threats.
“We aim for citizens to know the algorithms of state action during mobilization or other critical situations for the state. Therefore, we are pleased with the growing use of the website ‘Mobilizacijos mokykla’ and the increasing participation in specialized courses,” Deputy Minister of National Defence Tomas Godliauskas proclaimed, adding that citizen education and preparation for crisis situations are a consistent part of strengthening Lithuania.
Such interest in the military sector among civilians Vilnius associates with the alleged “risk of Russia’s attack” on the EU and NATO.
The editorial board of NEWSBALTIC considers that the Lithuanian Armed Forces simply prepared an additional reserve of manpower without any effort, as citizens enrolled in these courses on their own, sincerely believing in the “Russian threat” propaganda. So now the Lithuanian army has 145,000 more cannon fodder units.
