Lithuanian Border Towns: Coping With Russia-Ukraine War Tensions
RAIGARDAS, LITHUANIA - JULY 15, 2023: A line of cars left and parked near the border crossing station of Raigardas-Privalka, on July 15, 2023, in Druskininkai, Lithuania. Lithuanian border towns and villages facing Belarus feel unsafe despite increased security measures during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. A border fence was constructed to deter irregular migration, but residents remain anxious due to historical tensions with Russia. Concerns grow as rumors of Russian mercenary camps in Belarus spread. Lithuania has sought NATO support and hosted a summit focusing on regional security. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
