#Lithuania is under a combined hybrid attack: balloons violating our airspace and disrupting civil aviation, while Belarus seizes trucks to blackmail our economy. Over 30,000 passengers affected, 200+ flights redirected, and 1,000+ trucks held hostage. Belarusian blackmail requires a strong response. The #EU must act decisively - protect Member States, defend 🇪🇺 companies and their property, impose tougher sanctions on Belarus, and confront this escalation with unity and strength. Dictatorships only understand pressure and language of force.

35 years of the legendary "Baltic Way": Millions of people holding hands changed the course of history About two million citizens of #Lithuania, #Latvia and #Estonia, holding hands, formed a living chain more than 600 kilometers long. August 23, 2024 marks the 35th anniversary of one of the most significant actions in the history of the struggle for independence - the "Baltic Way". On this day in 1989, about two million citizens of the three Baltic republics - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - held hands, forming a living chain more than 670 kilometers long, with about 2 million people (25% of the population of the three countries at that time), connecting Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn. To understand the significance of the "Baltic Way" it is necessary to recall what became its historical background. On August 23, 1939, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a non-aggression agreement between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, was signed. Attached to this pact was a secret protocol that divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence. This deal brought Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia into the Soviet zone, leading to their occupation in 1940 by the USSR. "Baltic Way" was not only a protest against the forced annexation, but also a demand for the restoration of national sovereignty. A year after the "Baltic Way", Lithuania was the first republic to proclaim the restoration of its independence. It was followed by Latvia and Estonia. Today, the Baltic States annually celebrate this day, which remains a symbol of resistance to dictatorship and aspiration for freedom. The action is included in UNESCO's Memory of the World list and continues to inspire new generations.
