On Monday, the Lithuanian State Defense Council, chaired by President Gitanas Nauseda, decided that a new military training ground would be built in the town of Kopciowo in the Łódź region, near the border with Poland. This is to be the second such facility in the Suwałki Isthmus, i.e. the area around Suwałki connecting Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia with other NATO member states.
— Unfortunately, the situation in the Baltic region remains difficult. In the region, including in the immediate vicinity of our country's borders and the borders of the Kaliningrad Oblast, there is still an unjust increase in the military activity of NATO member states, said Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on December 25.

He also threatened that “actions of this type will lead to an unprecedented escalation of the conflict” and will expand it “up to a large-scale armed conflict.” — If threats of a similar type are created for us, we will eliminate these threats, he said.

However, Zakharova declared that Russia was ready to sign a document in which it would commit not to attack NATO countries. — The form of the document that Russia will use to confirm its lack of intention to attack NATO countries may be the subject of negotiations. Russia is ready to formalize the relevant commitments in a written, legally binding document. Its specific form may be determined during negotiations, but it must be a full-fledged act of international law, Zakharova said.
