A political controversy has emerged regarding Dovilė Šakalienė, a Member of the Seimas and of the Committee on National Security and Defence, with questions raised about her access to committee meetings. This comes as the country focuses on bolstering its defense capabilities, including the domestic assembly of anti-drone shields for JLTV vehicles.
In related security developments, the President, Gitanas Nausėda, stated that while US troops are returning to the country, their overall numbers in Europe will decrease. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also working on a proposal to block entry for Russians who support the Kremlin's aggression.
Beyond security and political news, local attention is drawn to a mice infestation in Vilnius apartments and a search for mysterious nocturnal animals near the capital. In business news, a new ranking of favorite brands was released, and logistics company Girteka has completed its exit from Russia.
