Summary

Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė has resigned along with her entire cabinet after less than a year in office (ten months). Her brief premiership was marked by multiple crises including balloon-smuggling incidents, drone incursions, a record-high defence budget set at 5.38% of GDP, and the dismissal of both the culture and defence ministers. She is expected to return to government as social affairs minister in a new cabinet led by Mindaugas Sinkevičius, who would become the third Social Democrat prime minister since the 2024 elections.
