Lithuania has started a large-scale relocation of strategic warehouses due to the growing threat from Belarus. Already 60% of food, fuel and other supplies have been moved to the central part of the country. Lithuania's state reserve is critical for responding to emergencies or war.
Lithuania strengthens warehouse security due to threat from Belarus
The Lithuanian authorities have decided to relocate all strategic warehouses located near borders with Belarus, to safer regions of the country. The main reason is the growing military and hybrid threat from the neighbouring state.
60% of stock already in the centre of the country
According to official figures, 60% of food, fuel and other critical supplies have already been transported to central Lithuania. This reduces the risk of losing the state reserve in the event of an escalation.
The role of the state reserve in crisis situations
Lithuania's state reserve is needed to provide for the population in the event of mobilisation, a state of emergency or war. The relocation of the stockpiles increases the country's resilience to possible threats, as has been recently reported in other Baltic countries.
