"NATO Summit in Vilnius: Strengthening Security and Making Critical Decisions"

NATO has deployed advanced weaponry and troops to protect world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, at the upcoming summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, located near the border with Belarus. Sixteen NATO allies have sent around 1,000 troops and advanced air defense systems to ensure the safety of the summit. The Baltic states, despite spending a significant portion of their economies on defense, lack the resources for large militaries and advanced air defense. Lithuania is calling for the establishment of permanent air defenses in the Baltic states. Locals feel safe due to NATO membership, but border guards are on high alert for potential provocations, including waves of migrants or military vehicles appearing at the border without explanation.
