"In the face of the current threats, its is extremely important to ensure the Alliance's capacity to respond in a fast and determined manner and deter both conventional and hybrid threats, which should be reflected in the new NATO commander structure and other decisions to ensure reliable deterrence and defense," Karoblis said the press release.
The Lithuanian minister also emphasized the need to ensure air and maritime support to the multilateral battalions stationed in the Baltic states and Poland.
