Budrys: Russia’s military capability in Kaliningrad Oblast has not decreased much

President’s Chief National Security Adviser Kęstutis Budrys says Russia’s military capability in Kaliningrad Oblast has not decreased so much that Lithuania could devote less attention to defence.

In an interview with the radio station Žinių Radijas on Tuesday, the president’s adviser stated that Russia still has enough capability in Kaliningrad Oblast to carry out limited-scale military operations in the region and against the Baltic States. However, Russia does not have enough forces in Kaliningrad to carry out a military operation against the entire NATO.
