Germany has made its first permanent foreign military commitment since the Second World War and sent troops to the eastern flank of Lithuania.
The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius attended an inauguration ceremony for the effort, in the company of Lithuania President Gitanas Nadusa, in the capital of the country in the capital Vilnius.
“Peace in Europe has been broken, every day Russia violates the order that we collectively took over as a lesson from the horrors of the Second World War,” said Merz.
Lithuania is bordered by Latvia and Poland, as well as the Russian exclusion of Kaliningrad in the west and the ally Wit -Russia in Moscow in the east.
The BBC’s Berlin Correspondent, Jess Parker, reports from the inaugural ceremony in Vilnius.
