Simonyte told reporters after the signing ceremony that the project “will create clear value for Lithuania and for our region as a whole.” Lithuania, which borders Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave to the west and Belarus to the east, remains the largest buyer of U.S. arms among the three Baltic states with more than 1.3 billion euro worth of acquisitions in the near future, according to the Defense Ministry.
