Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said Wednesday that he supports the idea of installing air defense systems on the Polish-Ukrainian border, as well as on the entire eastern flank of NATO after a missile fell on Polish territory.
«There is no doubt that Lithuania will support this position and will actively participate in the discussion on the deployment of air defense systems on the border of Poland with Ukraine, but we look beyond that, we look at the entire eastern flank of NATO,» he said during a speech picked up by LRT channel.
In this regard, he stressed that the NATO summit meeting held in the summer in Madrid served to address precisely the deployment of such systems on the eastern flank of the Alliance.
«I believe that this event (…) makes us reflect on how this principle, which we already approved in the final declaration, can be quickly applied», he stressed after the Polish president, Andrzej Duda, ruled out an «intentional attack» against his country following the explosion that killed two people.
