Lithuania which NATO brags is holding the front line of Europe against the Russian armed forces does not have enough fence wire on the border with Belarus. Lithuania has suspended the construction of a fence on the border with Belarus, as it faced a shortage of special barbed wire for this purpose. Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Arnoldas Abramavičius stated as Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital turned to neighbouring countries for help.

According to the deputy minister, the authorities have begun negotiations with other countries to purchase the necessary materials. ’Nobody produces it in Lithuania, that is, they cannot produce such a diameter in Lithuania. The nearest country is Poland, but Poland has also made an order to protect its border, ‘he said.

Abramavicius added that the discussion is underway with other states, including Denmark and Slovenia. The representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted that ‘this is a specific product that cannot be easily shared.’

The Minister of Defence of Lithuania Arvydas Anushauskas said earlier that 4.5 km of barbed wire coils used in military engineering were used from the army’s reserve, and it is still expected to come ‘from other countries.

According to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Agne Bilotaite, it is planned to install a barbed wire fence on sections of the border with a length of about 550 km, in general, the cost of the fence at the border will be about € 41 million.

The Prime Minister of Lithuania Ingrida Simonte announced her intention to build a wall on the border on July 7, caused by the influx of refugees from the Middle East from Belarus. Belarus President, stinging from EU sanctions removed border defence thus allowing thousands of migrants to pour into the EU via the globalist superstate’s open back door.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said earlier that in response to European sanctions due to the  forced landing of a Ryanair plane in Minsk, his country will no longer help the  EU in the fight against illegal migration.

According to the Lithuanian authorities, since the beginning of 2021, 2,430 illegal migrants have been detained on the border with Belarus, including citizens of Iraq, Congo, Cameroon, Afghanistan and other countries. 

On July 2, the country declared a state of emergency. On July 12, the European Border Agency announced the start of an urgent special operation on the border of Lithuania with Belarus. In order to cope with the migration crisis on the Lithuanian-Belarusian border, it was decided to send specialists and equipment from the European Union there.

On July 19, Lukashenko said that Belarus can help Lithuania solve the problem with illegal migrants, but not for free. Border control, in particular, the suppression of the transportation of drugs and weapons is expensive, he stressed. Source
