Rockets are placed under the "US commitment to the security of Lithuania" and the is Pentagon ready to send additional forces to the region.
Training of the alliance will at the same time be held in Romania and the Czech Republic. Until July 22nd, 450 soldiers will take part from Lithuania itself, Poland, the UK and the US. The operation will be carried out with the backdrop of continuing tension in relations between NATO and Russia.
