In this episode of Active Measures, Marcus Kolga travels to Vilnius for an exclusive conversation with Mantas Adomenas, former Lithuanian Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs and current Secretary General of the Community of Democracies. A tireless advocate for democracy, Mantas has played a pivotal role in shaping Lithuania’s bold foreign policy, actively countering authoritarian influence from Russia and China, fiercely defending Ukraine, and championing democracy globally.
His vocal support for Taiwan and unyielding criticism of authoritarian regimes has made him a direct target—resulting in a Kremlin ban in 2024. Today, as the leader of the Community of Democracies, Mantas Adomenas continues to unite nations committed to strengthening democratic institutions and confronting autocratic threats.
Join us as we explore Lithuania’s inspiring fight for democracy and discuss strategies to protect freedom in an increasingly hostile world.
