“I do not want to talk about numbers, however, the military intelligence is doing a good job, potential recruits are being screen, there is a filter,” said Karoblis.

In 2015, Lithuania reintroduced the conscription scheme in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine and the Baltic Sea region. About 3,000-3,500 young people between ages of 19 and 26 are recruited on an annual basis.
