Our Center’s experts’ analysis and commentary regularly become part of international-level discussions.
Recently, a comment by GSSC Director Linas Kojala on X about the security situation following drone incidents, based on conversations with representatives of Baltic governments, received broad international attention. It was shared by Shashank Joshi, Head of The Economist’s Washington bureau, Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže, American security expert Rob Lee, former Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, as well as experts and journalists from Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom and other countries, and diplomatic missions of NATO allies.
Over the past week, Linas Kojala also gave interviews on various topics to international media outlets, including The Times, Le Figaro, Italy’s Radio 24, the Czech public broadcaster, and others. His latest op-ed was also discussed by former U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in The New York Times podcast. The text was also mentioned in the British podcast The Rest is Politics, a review by the Italian think tank ASTRID, a publication by MS NOW producer Steve Benen, and elsewhere.
GSSC Chief Adviser on Foreign Policy Vytautas Leškevičius also published an article in the international platform War on the Rocks, titled “Europe’s Dangerous Hunger Games for American Troops”. The article analyses potential changes in the U.S. military presence in Europe and emphasizes that Europe’s focus should be not on competition for U.S. forces, but on the development of European NATO allies’ capabilities, thereby contributing to the strengthening of the transatlantic Alliance.
