According to the report, Lithuanian Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė has announced that a nationwide mass evacuation plan will be developed by early October . Each local authority has its own evacuation plan, but obviously, we must have a plan of a national scale and be ready to implement it.

The minister emphasized that the security of the population has become a priority due to cyberattacks and that civilian protection is now more important than ever. The war against Ukraine rages on, the countries of their region and are subject to hybrid and disinformation attacks, and sabotage is considered new reality.

the minister said that it is important to note that they are at the forefront, so today, civilian protection has become a priority.

She emphasized that strengthening civil protection at the national level alone is insufficient, leading to a decision to collaborate with other Baltic states. Additionally, the countries plan to seek funding from the European Union.

The minister said that Lithuania needs to coordinate with the European level. They consider it costly , but it is important to combine their capabilities and get support from the EU. They are calling for a risk assessment to better understand the threats and strengthen public protection measures.
