00:00:23about the response, like a slap in the face law economic sectors without guarantees, artificial intelligence as
00:00:26a nuclear weapon and efforts to communicate with millionaires, that's it.
00:00:30week, good evening, in Lithuania this week for the first time
00:00:33a drone that crossed the airspace was shot down with explosives. Experts
00:00:37claim that a year after the first drone flight, Lithuania sees more
00:00:40and can do more, but still too little. The former commander of the air force
00:00:44says that although politicians declare that air
00:00:48defense is the most important, too little is being done in reality. The head of research
00:00:51at the Center for Defense and Security in Tallinn calls the relations between Russia and the West
00:00:54an exchange of slaps, but according to him, the West receives more
00:00:58of them, the response again. and is without
00:01:00creativity.
00:01:03Flights of two Russian drones in Lithuania. A year ago, a Russian drone that flew
00:01:06into Lithuania was lost by military
00:01:09radars, and it crashed in the Gaižiūnai training ground after flying 200 km
00:01:13. This week, military
00:01:17radars also monitored a Russian drone and an Italian pilot shot it down after it flew about 100 km
00:01:20. When we know where and we know
00:01:23what, the result is visible. After a year, we now see
00:01:27a really big step forward, that
00:01:31change was witnessed by the residents of Kaišiadorys district
00:01:34.
00:01:37I just ran to the D and such a blow, but such a blow already shot, I say already
00:01:41everything, the war has begun. The drone was in Lithuania for half an hour.
00:01:45It is estimated that sometimes it is perhaps better not to shoot down something
00:01:48than to cause collateral
00:01:52damage. That damage was suffered by a Polish resident
00:01:55when a year ago, while shooting down a drone, a fighter jet missile hit the roof
00:01:59of a house. In peacetime, the target must be identified, and that, of course,
00:02:03ruled by the Second Muftiate, well, extends for kilometers and distance. Sometimes there is no time to
00:02:06react, last Sunday, the sound
00:02:09that woke up the residents of Varėna district. According to
00:02:12the sound, everything was immediately understood, because that buzzing, you can't mistake
00:02:16it for anything else than the buzzing of drones. Radars
00:02:19detected the object, it flew from Belarus across Lithuania in 40 minutes
00:02:23to the Kaliningrad region.
00:02:26The situation is managed, information is managed. it is
00:02:30clear and we will still contact the defense staff
00:02:34to discuss the existing algorithms, although
00:02:37the president thinks otherwise, the information system should have
00:02:41worked and also the possibilities to use
00:02:45certain combat measures to destroy this drone.
00:02:49A few days later, Poland found a Russian gerbera with explosives on
00:02:53the Baltic coast.
00:02:55It could have flown over the entire Republic of Lithuania and then
00:02:59Kaliningrad. territory and fly over the Baltic
00:03:02Sea, we must prepare for such situations, because they can
00:03:06repeat themselves and not once, if
00:03:08they did, you wouldn't want to hear my answer,
00:03:12you would, no, at this minute we are not
00:03:15prepared for citizens, if incidents, incidents were to repeat themselves
00:03:19and not with isolated drones, let's say
00:03:22they would be more massive, we would have certain
00:03:25challenges, according to experts, there are no easy solutions, expensive
00:03:29not exactly. Fighter flights, but not a cheaper ground-based air
00:03:33defense system. It must be a layered air
00:03:36defense system for cheap drones,
00:03:39and missiles, and fighter jets, and perhaps not such expensive
00:03:42flying platforms. Latvians, after a drone was shot down in the country a month ago,
00:03:46are considering buying turboprop
00:03:49aircraft. According to experts, they can fill
00:03:53gaps between expensive fighter jets and ground-based air
00:03:56defense. Talk about acquiring L39 new
00:03:59generation. NG is possible, talk about
00:04:02acquiring Italian M346
00:04:05that perfectly fill that gap between
00:04:08a fighter jet and ground-based air defense,
00:04:11and while Lithuania is solving the problem of Shahed-type drones,
00:04:15Ukraine is already fighting with much faster missile
00:04:18drones and conventional defense against drones is no
00:04:21longer enough. I'm afraid that we will rejoice after a year,
00:04:25that we covered some
00:04:28gap, but that gap will be.
00:04:30it will be a gap of 2026,
00:04:34not 2027. The minister says a multi-layered air defense system
00:04:38should be ready by the end of next year . Experts respond
00:04:41that so far politicians only say that air defense is a priority.
00:04:45Now I still don't feel that air defense is
00:04:49really a priority. In words, in the rhetoric
00:04:52of politicians, yes, we invested one billion in
00:04:56Mercedes-Benz trucks. Well, that's
00:04:59just. when air defense is strengthened, I announce this with great
00:05:03irony and sarcasm. The need for air defense will not disappear,
00:05:07in Poland this week sirens wailed at the border with Ukraine
00:05:11and more than once. Fighter jets
00:05:12were scrambled.
00:05:15There is a real risk that drones or missiles could fly into the territory of one or
00:05:19more NATO member states on the eastern flank, and even cause
00:05:23damage. The official narrative would be that it was an accidental
00:05:26incident.
00:05:29Lithuania says the same. I see public statements by politicians about this
00:05:33as part of a coordinated
00:05:36campaign to warn Russia not to make stupid
00:05:40decisions. We hit others.
00:05:42slaps and so far our side has received more of those slaps,
00:05:46so experts do not believe that Russian drones accidentally fly
00:05:50into eastern NATO members,
00:05:53it looks more like a deliberate
00:05:56test mission . After the drone was shot down
00:06:00in Lithuania, the reaction was: We will consult with
00:06:03allies. We still don't have any standard
00:06:06preparations for how we will respond or not, that
00:06:10we don't have a very clearly defined
00:06:12algorithm. The expert calls for a creative approach to the response. For each
00:06:16drone, a thousand additional drones for Ukraine,
00:06:19for each drone shot down,
00:06:23a bill for the Russian embassy for
00:06:26all sorts of, well, playful and not entirely playful things. Poland is talking
00:06:29about the possibility of shooting down Russian drones already in Ukraine, but
00:06:32the alliance fears escalation. Lithuania assures
00:06:35that there will be a response. Russia will not hide, only
00:06:39everyone needs to avoid
00:06:43bad consequences and that is the main message to Russia, our
00:06:46measures are also delayed in time, well
00:06:49and here it's like getting a slap in the evening
00:06:52and then coming back in the morning and hitting back
00:06:56, right? So maybe he won't even remember why all this is happening,
00:07:00and according to the expert, so far the West's reaction to deliberate
00:07:03and perhaps unintentional Russian attacks does not encourage the Kremlin
00:07:07to stop.
00:07:10It is not a coincidence that... flights on the eastern flank are accompanied by a new
00:07:14wave of diversions and provocations in Western Europe. French President
00:07:18Emmanuel Macron stated that his country has also become a target of Russia's
00:07:21jo šalis, o tarnybos jau rengė planus, kaip apsaugoti ypatingos svarbos
00:07:25pramonės šakas ir infrastruktūrą. Šią savaitę su
00:07:28a provocation by a Russian warship , is responding to the pressure
00:07:31by promising to accelerate the delivery of aid to Ukraine. Nevertheless,
00:07:35Kyiv was and remains the main obstacle for the Kremlin
00:07:39to free its hands, but doubt leads to a lack of solidarity. We see:
00:07:42after the Polish Prime Minister's warning that there will surely be countries only looking
00:07:46for an alibi not to react to threats, the pro-Putin Slovak Prime Minister
00:07:50called the foundation of collective defense
00:07:53some fifth article, for which it is not worth
00:07:56becoming part of the conflict.
00:07:59A coast guard helicopter disembarks special
00:08:03forces soldiers on deck, immediately taking over an icebreaker
00:08:07suspiciously circling near submarine
00:08:10cables. After previous incidents when ships that damaged
00:08:14infrastructure were detained, this time it is only an exercise to demonstrate
00:08:17vigilance, but the exercise commander is already talking about
00:08:20the threat of a new incident not in the
00:08:23subjunctive mood. We must be prepared for the next
00:08:26event, the last one was less than a year ago, we can consider this a new
00:08:30normal. The understanding of what can happen and what is already
00:08:34happening is changing, not only in the expert community, but also among
00:08:38decision-makers. When similar arsons and
00:08:41attacks on the arms industry and
00:08:44infrastructure are organized across Europe at the same time,
00:08:47it is probably no longer a coincidence. And not
00:08:51only in countries bordering Russia. The French president, who gathered
00:08:54party leaders this week, named Russia as the threat,
00:08:58whose hybrid attack campaigns, according to him,
00:09:01are also targeting his country.
00:09:04The situation has been difficult since February 22nd, but in recent weeks
00:09:07the threat, especially Russia's hybrid threat, has intensified
00:09:11for Europeans and
00:09:15France. Suspicions arose a week ago when a passenger train derailed in Normandy,
00:09:18injuring 44 people.
00:09:22A 100-kilogram section of railway track was left
00:09:25on the line, the incident is being investigated as a malicious
00:09:29act, although investigators do not yet mention
00:09:32any links to Russia. Not identical, but similar features
00:09:35are shared by this week's incident in the Netherlands. Rods and wires
00:09:39attached to dozens of railway sections
00:09:43activated warning systems, causing train traffic
00:09:46to be stopped. Objects left on the tracks prevented
00:09:50trains from running and hindered people from going to schools and work. This
00:09:54was clearly a well-planned act.
00:09:58The perpetrator has not been identified yet. It is not ruled
00:10:01out that in this way farmers who were holding protests
00:10:04at that time expressed their dissatisfaction, but the organization
00:10:08uniting them denied it. We evaluate
00:10:10this case as sabotage against railway
00:10:13infrastructure. The motive becomes clearer when the target
00:10:17is the arms industry. In the warehouses of the Bulgarian manufacturer Emko,
00:10:20a fire broke out twice in just over
00:10:24a month. Investigators have not yet published their findings,
00:10:27but the timing of the incident and the fact that the company belongs
00:10:31to a well-known arms industry magnate, against whom previous
00:10:34assassination attempts were made, does not look like a coincidence.
00:10:37The first explosion in Belitsa, now this one, only a month passed between them, these events
00:10:41are not coincidental.
00:10:44Similar attacks do not require complex planning and resources.
00:10:47Previous cases, where traces led
00:10:50to Russian secret services, show that it is enough
00:10:54to hire someone who does not delve
00:10:58into the motives of the tasks entrusted to them. These are different categories of attacks, some
00:11:02of which have a clear purpose, others seem random and
00:11:05meaningless. Russia learns from these attacks, not so much how
00:11:09to cause damage, but how the target country responds
00:11:12to it. But attacks in Europe, for which
00:11:16the term hybrid seems too mild to some, are increasingly
00:11:19accompanied by fierce provocations. This
00:11:22week, a Russian warship sailing in international waters in the Baltic
00:11:26Sea, aimed signal flares
00:11:29at a Danish military helicopter flying above it, which
00:11:32passed within a few meters .
00:11:35The probability of a signal flare hitting is very low, but if it really
00:11:39happened that a flare hit, then the probability of damage
00:11:42is high. If it hit the engine, it could fail, then it is self-
00:11:46explanatory what would happen.
00:11:49The helicopter photographs and observes warships near Denmark.
00:11:52There is nothing unusual in that. The Danish military will continue to do
00:11:56so, because I will speculate what caused such a Russian reaction, apart from the fact that this is a new
00:12:00trend, and that the Russians are increasingly willing to take risks.
00:12:02Denmark did not activate the fourth article of the NATO
00:12:06treaty, which allows allies to be called for consultation,
00:12:09but in response to the incident, says it will even more
00:12:13quickly seek to transfer aid intended
00:12:15for Ukraine. For four and a half years, it was
00:12:19this that prevented Russia from paying attention elsewhere, but in the coming
00:12:23weeks and months, during which the Duma elections,
00:12:26the mid-term elections in America, and the already
00:12:30held and still ongoing votes in countries supporting
00:12:33Ukraine, the Kremlin sees as an opportunity to test
00:12:36the alliance.
00:12:39Just to reassure itself, Europe can repeat that it is not at war
00:12:42with Russia, but Russia sees the situation
00:12:44differently.
00:12:47When Russia no longer fears striking Ukrainian border
00:12:51regions, when sirens wail in the neighboring country
00:12:55due to the threat of air attacks, and the army scrambles
00:12:57fighter jets, war on Europe's doorstep is no longer
00:13:01a metaphor, but the great test, political,
00:13:04for the defense of the eastern flank under Article Five,
00:13:07not all countries are prepared, some of them, according to
00:13:11Donald Tusk, are already looking for excuses why they are not taking
00:13:14action. I don't want Slovakia to become a party
00:13:17to a military conflict because of some fifth
00:13:19article.
00:13:22Russia is carefully preparing for this step, as political
00:13:25changes in certain European countries will bring to power, or at least give
00:13:29a voice to those who, under the guise of noble
00:13:32slogans of peace, pacifism, and the need to avoid unnecessary casualties,
00:13:35will call for peace, in other words, complete Ukrainian
00:13:38capitulation.
00:13:42After all the trials that Ukraine and the countries supporting it have had
00:13:46to endure, the coming ones will probably be the
00:13:49biggest.
00:13:52Donald Trump signed the sanctions law against Russia, the most significant
00:13:56since his return to the White House. The package's journey
00:13:59took a year and a half, and the senator who initiated it, Lindsey
00:14:02Graham, did not live to see its adoption. The core
00:14:05of the law is that Trump will be required to impose duties of up to 100%
00:14:08on the largest buyers of Russian oil and gas. However, he will not have to do
00:14:12so if he believes that it contradicts national
00:14:15interests. And the word "up to" can theoretically
00:14:18mean both 100 and 1%. Observers
00:14:21agree that the sanctions law is a signal to Moscow
00:14:24regarding the undiminished support for Ukraine, but at the same time, that its
00:14:28practical benefit will depend only on how much Trump
00:14:31wants to use the tools provided by the law.
00:14:35262 in favor, 159
00:14:38against. The most important law related to the war in Ukraine
00:14:42since Donald Trump's return
00:14:43has been adopted.
00:14:47The Lindsey Graham Sanctions Against Russia and Iran Act was named
00:14:51in honor of its author, who did not live to see this day.
00:14:55The Republican senator died the day after visiting Kyiv, where
00:14:58he announced a breakthrough that his initiated law
00:15:02had been waiting for for more than a year.
00:15:05I am pleased to announce that approximately half an hour ago we reached an agreement
00:15:09with the White House on the sanctions against Russia bill, which they
00:15:12will support. This means the bill will become
00:15:15law.
00:15:18Sanctions against the Russian bank, energy and defense
00:15:21sectors, the shadow fleet and individuals assisting
00:15:25the military, and the most important weapon of the law, duties
00:15:28on the five largest Russian oil and five
00:15:31largest gas importers, which
00:15:34Trump will be forced to impose, up to 100%.
00:15:37Sanctions are
00:15:40great, but they can be circumvented, duties
00:15:43cannot be circumvented, such is the power of duties, and the main violator is
00:15:47China.
00:15:50But the word "up to" is the most important here, Trump
00:15:53himself will be able to decide what percentage up to 100
00:15:56to choose, and after the word "must" there is an exception not
00:16:00to do so if national interests require
00:16:02it.
00:16:05Can the president theoretically impose only 1%
00:16:09on China for this?
00:16:13He could, he could, but he would have to report
00:16:16it to Congress, and if he revokes sanctions, he has to notify
00:16:20Congress. President Trump, who has already signed
00:16:23the law, received thanks from Volodymyr Zelensky, but
00:16:27between the lines there was also a concern that the sanctions would not be fully
00:16:30applied. The best way to honor Lindsey would be to apply
00:16:34the provisions of this law in their entirety and swiftly. And
00:16:38the best reward for everyone helping us pressure
00:16:41Russia to end its war would be peace. Duties,
00:16:44the reason why the law was supported by only a third
00:16:48of Democrats in the House of Representatives, they are also afraid that Trump
00:16:51will choose to punish
00:16:52allies.
00:16:56I am a member of Congress who supports Ukraine and fights for Ukrainians.
00:17:00As I understand it, Republicans in this package give a lot of power to the president
00:17:04to impose duties, and that makes it difficult for Democrats.
00:17:09Regarding duties, there are more questions, it is unclear on what data
00:17:13the largest Russian oil and gas clients
00:17:16will be determined. In July, senatorial representatives
00:17:19named China, India,
00:17:22Slovakia, Hungary, and Azerbaijan as the largest
00:17:25buyers of Russian oil, and China,
00:17:28France, Japan, Hungary, and Belgium for gas. However,
00:17:32the French, Japanese, Hungarians, and Belgians can expect an exception
00:17:35provided for in the law, if only they agree to reduce imports from Russia,
00:17:39observers have already missed Turkey
00:17:43from this list, which in the last 34 years
00:17:46alone imported as much Russian oil as all the European
00:17:50Union countries combined. Among the largest
00:17:53importers, Trump's ally Erdogan's Turkey was
00:17:57also there last month, but sanctions against it, important
00:18:00intermediaries with Moscow, would probably not be desired by
00:18:03Kyiv either, so all eyes are on two countries.
00:18:08China and India, we tell you, better
00:18:11clean up your act, buy your gas and oil somewhere
00:18:14else. A tariff war with China, whose leader will be received
00:18:18at the White House next week, Trump had already
00:18:21started. He raised tariffs to
00:18:24145%, but was forced
00:18:27to retreat when China responded by restricting
00:18:31the export of rare earth elements, essential for most modern
00:18:34technologies. India is more vulnerable
00:18:38to tariffs, but stated that it would continue to buy
00:18:42fossil fuels, taking into account national interests. In any
00:18:45case, tariffs on India for oil could only further
00:18:48complicate the situation in global markets, which Trump himself
00:18:52had stirred up by starting a war in Iran without a clear
00:18:54strategy, so will there eventually be anyone
00:18:57to punish?
00:18:59This president has two years left in his term, but
00:19:02Congress will win, we will force the administration
00:19:06to apply the provisions of this new law, whether it takes
00:19:09a year, half a year, three years? I don't know, I only know
00:19:13that it is important for the world to understand, and for our
00:19:15allies, as well as India and China, countries with whom
00:19:19we have relations, do not buy Russian
00:19:21oil. Duties are also foreseen for Russia
00:19:25itself, up to 500%, but here too
00:19:28there is that word "up to", and bilateral trade is not
00:19:31the largest, as noted by the Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
00:19:35Of course, the final decisions
00:19:37will depend on the US president and perhaps will not be implemented in their full extent
00:19:41and immediately, but this is a lever to soften Russia's
00:19:45position. In the United States, as elections approach,
00:19:48such a sanctions law is acceptable both to those
00:19:52Republican supporters who support Ukraine and to those who do not want
00:19:56to give Kyiv a single cent. At the same time, it is also a signal
00:19:59to Russia, which held parliamentary elections this
00:20:03weekend and where the only choice is to support Putin's
00:20:07war.
00:20:10Your choice and will will once again show that millions of people
00:20:13stand behind our soldiers, that we are a united nation,
00:20:17bound by common values, historical memory and love for
00:20:21the homeland. Russia shows that it does
00:20:24not want peace, so sanctions will not replace weapons, and the billion-dollar
00:20:28military aid package, initiated by Democrats and approved
00:20:31in the House of Representatives in June,
00:20:34is blocked by Republicans in Senate drawers.
00:20:39Minister of Interior Martynas Katelynas says that the biker
00:20:43attack near the Kaunas mosque is a consequence of people's dissatisfaction with migration.
00:20:46He promises to present new migration
00:20:50policy proposals soon, saying that the policy will become stricter, that changes
00:20:53are generally needed, representatives of all parliamentary parties agree,
00:20:56but say that if migrants are completely rejected, there will be no one
00:21:00to do some jobs in the country. Representatives of the Muslim community in Lithuania assure
00:21:04that they have nothing to do with migration, people come here because
00:21:07they get jobs and residence permits, and add that
00:21:11the Muslim community and Islam are part
00:21:14of the Republic of Lithuania.
00:21:17On Fridays, the dry community gathers near the Kaunas mosque. The community
00:21:20has grown recently, not everyone fits inside, so prayer also takes place outside, just that
00:21:24a lot of them gather here, I haven't noticed any other inconvenience , and this only happens
00:21:28on Fridays, like a festival, everyone starts
00:21:31gathering, the former mayor of Kaunas also lives in the mosque's
00:21:34neighborhood, the first question would be the traffic question, it gathers
00:21:38in the evenings too, this is not the safest
00:21:41place here, everyone needs to understand that the Muslim community is
00:21:45part of the Republic of Lithuania,
00:21:48and Islam is
00:21:52. From now on, the mosque's approaches will be monitored by video cameras, as the Kaunas authorities say, this
00:21:55will help ensure public order from all sides, this was needed after
00:21:59last Friday's incident.
00:22:01During the Muslim prayer, bikers gathered and displayed a pig's head, played
00:22:05music,
00:22:05and chanted.
00:22:10Perhaps they think that if someone brings
00:22:13that head, then they will
00:22:16somehow destroy that Islam or
00:22:19destroy that prayer. The police launched a pre-trial
00:22:23investigation into the incident. The Minister of Interior appealed to the State Security Department.
00:22:27We hope to get answers regarding the functioning
00:22:30Muftiate, what its leadership is, and regarding the bikers
00:22:33who participated there. Politicians evaluate such
00:22:37a step positively, but some emphasize possible threats from the Muslim
00:22:40community. We need to respect people who are praying, on the other
00:22:44hand, a certain source
00:22:47of tensions started much earlier,
00:22:50when the same Kaunas mosque
00:22:53quite ultimatum-like demanded from Kaunas residents that they
00:22:57, let's say, adhere to their rules.
00:23:01At the end of June, the Kaunas Mosque administration published a request
00:23:04on social media not to display physical intimacy too openly
00:23:07on the institution's territory. There can be various threats
00:23:11related to both external and internal
00:23:13security, so here it is also with the possible influences of the Islamic Brotherhood.
00:23:17Others argue that the security department should assess
00:23:20the protesters and see if the incident itself was not
00:23:24inspired by some strange, strange
00:23:27groups or similar, so I mean
00:23:30look, from publicly appearing
00:23:34comments, it was stated
00:23:37that the people who carried out the incident, they did not know
00:23:41why they were doing it. Vytautas Inica had proposed transferring the mosque
00:23:45to the Tatars, to whom it previously belonged. I feel that
00:23:47I contributed, I hope I contributed to the overall
00:23:51understanding that there is a threat from mass emigration and specifically from
00:23:54representatives of Islamic countries, we had,
00:23:58meaning, one Muftiate and
00:24:01everything was completely normal, as they say, everything
00:24:04was going on, but when
00:24:08the second Muftiate was registered, practically that
00:24:11second Muftiate represents
00:24:13that and these immigrants, our
00:24:16question and our community. meaning,
00:24:20it, yes, seems to remain
00:24:23outside. The Minister of Interior says the problem is broader,
00:24:27migration policy. Society sees both social and other changes
00:24:31and truly, well, perceives this very negatively.
00:24:34So not seeing this problem would be error. Politicians say that
00:24:38measures need to be taken so that ghettos do not form in Lithuania, as
00:24:42in some other European countries. Katelynas stated that he is in favor of tightening
00:24:45immigration, and promises to prepare a new model within a few months. He has also
00:24:49said that... Lithuania should refuse to relocate migrants from other European
00:24:53Union countries and pay a solidarity contribution. Almost all
00:24:56politicians agree that changes are needed. I cannot
00:24:59justify the demarches near the Kaunas mosque, but I
00:25:03cannot justify our migration
00:25:06policy either. This is not a wise policy. Only
00:25:10visions of what the changes should look like differ. Short-term work visas,
00:25:13you came, you left. No permits to live here in Lithuania
00:25:17for five or three years should be given. Don't forget one
00:25:20simple thing: a person who has received a residence permit here in Lithuania for five
00:25:24years acquires the right to vote in local elections. Lithuania needs
00:25:27about 3-4 nursing
00:25:30specialists, someone has to do that, and if we
00:25:34imagine that the youth growing in greenhouses, as they like to call
00:25:37them, in the suburbs of Vilnius will go to work
00:25:40as nurses, well, there is a bit
00:25:43of naivety. However, other politicians argue that not everyone
00:25:47should be blindly accepted for work, they formulated. Sometime, that
00:25:50we need immigrants from culturally
00:25:54close countries, what are those
00:25:57culturally close countries, those where people speak Russian,
00:26:00if we ourselves. What we don't want to do, so what
00:26:03do we do, do we then accept people, if
00:26:07we accept, from where do we accept them, under what conditions do we accept them, I am
00:26:11talking about legal migration, it is time for Lithuania
00:26:14to answer the question, after all, how many and what kind of
00:26:17immigrants do we need, what value should they create in the state, in what
00:26:23to work and what problems they actually solve.
00:26:26Gentvila says, first of all, long-term unemployed people need to be encouraged to work.
00:26:30If we say that we need labor. force, then we
00:26:33are doing everything so that long-term lazy
00:26:37Lithuanians continue to rot on the stove and receive
00:26:41state benefits as an incentive to continue
00:26:44not working. The Muslim community states that they
00:26:48have nothing to do with the increasing flow of foreigners. We do not
00:26:51invite these migrants and these migrants,
00:26:55Muslims, did not come here to pray
00:26:58in the Kaunas mosque. They came here because
00:27:02the Kaunas city municipality assigned them
00:27:06jobs, Kaunas University accepted
00:27:09them, they pay taxes, they pay
00:27:12a, pay taxes, a they live here
00:27:15have residence permits. The president has already
00:27:19submitted his proposals on migration, employers could only bring
00:27:22workers from abroad for a limited time, without guarantees
00:27:26for them to stay in the country. It is estimated that there are a total of
00:27:29220, almost 8% foreigners in the country. In the
00:27:32last couple of years, the number of immigrants from Central Asia, where
00:27:36the dominant religion is Islam, has increased.
00:27:39The United Nations warns of the risk of a humanitarian
00:27:43crisis in Ukraine if Russian attacks in winter cause massive electricity
00:27:47and water disruptions. And the war in Iraq already today
00:27:51threatens oil supply disruptions, which raise fuel prices and cause great
00:27:54anger. Soon about it.
00:27:58In the Middle East, it is expanding and becoming more expensive for the entire
00:28:01world. The journey will be longer and shipping
00:28:04more expensive. Some urge to stop, others to push
00:28:08faster. Artificial intelligence can destroy
00:28:10humanity. Like nuclear weapons, artificial
00:28:13superintelligence poses a threat to humanity.
00:28:17Remigijus Milašius, Vice President of LKL, who intends to participate in the presidential
00:28:20elections of the Lithuanian Basketball Association, says that the situation
00:28:23is extraordinary. All millionaires and we need to find a
00:28:27common language with them.
00:28:39In Panorama, you will see that in Latvia, after reducing the VAT
00:28:42on some food products, Lithuanians are not flocking there to shop
00:28:45due to expensive fuel.
00:28:47Kremlin critics have no doubt that victory in the Duma elections will again declare Putin's
00:28:51party United Russia.
00:28:54Events taking place at the Litexpo palace in Vilnius will have to wait. Due to
00:28:57the presidency of the Council of the European Union, they are postponed or
00:29:00cancelled.
00:29:04Russian threats,
00:29:08they are crazy and don't understand that if, God forbid, something happened,
00:29:11Lithuania would disappear from the world map. And NATO's
00:29:15response.
00:29:18We have a crushing advantage over Russia. The Alliance
00:29:21is publicizing the defense plans
00:29:24of the Baltic States. Half an hour until
