Lithuania is training children as young as 10 years old in the use of drones as part of a new initiative by the country's Ministry of Defense. Drone warfare has been a crucial innovation since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and as a neighbor of Russia, Lithuania feels compelled to strengthen its defense capabilities. Deputy Defense Minister Tomas Godliauskas tells Host Carolyn Beeler that the training is an important aspect of Lithuania's ability to bolster resilience among civilians.
