Lithuanians fear being a member of NATO is not the security guarantee it once was.

Lithuania joined NATO in 2004 , providing the security of the military alliance's collective defense clause in the event of Russian aggression.

Lithuania 's geography puts it directly in the firing line.

The country shares an eastern border with Russia 's closest ally, Belarus , from whose territory Moscow 's failed attempt to take Kyiv was launched.

Lithuania has been one of Kyiv 's staunchest allies in Ukraine .

Russia 's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has provided a blueprint of sorts for what Lithuanians could expect in the event of a worst-case scenario.

Lithuania is only slightly larger than the U.S. state of West Virginia , prompting many to plan where in the country would be the safest place to be.

"A lot of Ukrainians are saying they weren't prepared at all. We are trying to learn from people's mistakes," she said. “Let's hope for the best and be ready for the worst.”.
