A German Air Force plane carrying military aid landed today at Kaunas airport in Lithuania, as there are concerns about a possible Russian attack on Ukraine.
An A400M aircraft carrying about 70 troops, of the additional 360 that Germany is expected to deploy in Lithuania in the coming days, landed in the country to bolster NATO forces in the area, an Alliance spokesman said.
The new force deployed in Lithuania includes reconnaissance troops and doctors from all over Germany, and reinforcements are expected to arrive later this week.
Since 2017, NATO has deployed troops in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland, responding to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.
A total of 5,000 troops are in the area under German, British and US command.
German troops make up about half of the 1,100 troops already in Lithuania, with troops deployed there from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Norway.
