Latvian and Lithuanian Prime Ministers Andris Kulbergs and Mindaugas Sinkevičius met on August 20 to discuss hybrid threats stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict along NATO's northern borders, including illegal migration from Belarus. Lithuania has recorded nearly 2,000 cases of secondary migration this year, with incidents sometimes occurring on the borders of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.
Prime Minister Sinkevičius stated that Russia dislikes supporting Ukraine, leading organizations and companies, both dual-use and military, to remain vigilant.

Lithuania has also announced plans to bolster its borders with Russia and Belarus, proposing stricter border regulations.
