On the latest episode of Global Power Shifts, released July 10th, host Jim Stenman and co-host Suzanne Kianpour, Global Affairs Analyst on Fox News, sit down with Gabrielius Landsbergis, Lithuania’s Foreign Minister, for a sharp, personal look at Russia, Ukraine, NATO and the Baltic outlook.
Landsbergis brings more than talking points. He grew up at the end of the Soviet era, in a family marked by repression, and has spent his career helping secure Lithuania’s place on NATO’s eastern flank. That history runs through a conversation built around four essentials:
- Fortifying the frontier: What credible deterrence really means in practice — from logistics and stockpiles to readiness and political will.
- Ukraine as a wake-up call: How Russia’s invasion ended Europe’s “peace by assumption” and forced real timelines for rearmament and industrial capacity.
- Article 5 in a turbulent world: Why collective defense still deters, but only if Europe closes capability gaps and stays the course.
- Brussels with bite: The EU’s role on procurement, sanctions enforcement and energy security that reaches the periphery as much as the core.
