“Today we are at an important crossroads; It is time to answer clearly for ourselves what it means to support Ukraine for as long as necessary. Until now, “as long as it takes” meant “as long as we can reach an agreement.” “It is time to reaffirm that Ukraine’s victory is our strategic commitment,” Landsbergis said.
Otherwise, he stressed, the West would witness the negative consequences of the conflict in Ukraine “in the region and throughout the world.”
Before that, the head of the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gabrielius Landsbergis statedThat the West “has not been open and honest enough” about what the conflict in Ukraine means to it.
