Juknevičienė commented on the situation in Europe/Channel 24 Collage

In 2024, many countries will host elections. This indicates that changes may occur that will force Europe to take responsibility for security.

Former Lithuanian Defense Minister Rasa Juknevičienė in an exclusive interview 24 Channel commented on the elections that are about to take place in the United States, because Donald Trump may win there. She answered the question whether Europe is afraid to be left alone.

The world is becoming different

According to her, this is the first time that the need to prepare for anything is being discussed so seriously in European states and within the walls of the European Parliament.

It may be Trump, or he may not be elected, but it is clear that the United States is gradually becoming different. In general, the world is becoming different, especially when we look at China and the region around it,” she said.

The former head of the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense notes that there is now a war on the southern borders of the European Union , so Europe must take more responsibility. Juknevičienė noted that this is not only because of Trump, but because the global situation is becoming, to put it mildly, different.
