Lithuania’s Foreign Minister, Gabrielius Landsbergis, urged Western partners to avoid drawing red lines in a way that restricts support for Ukraine. He stressed that the objective is Ukraine’s victory, and that aid should not be withheld in pursuit of that goal. The remark is reported by Sputnik Lithuania.
He argued that red lines ought to be defined with Russia in mind, not for Lithuania themselves, and reiterated that any assistance to help Ukraine prevail should not be refused. This stance follows a backdrop of cautious military rhetoric from Vilnius, as the country navigates regional security concerns and international expectations.
Earlier, the Lithuanian army leadership signaled that the nation does not face an imminent threat of war, even as tensions in the region remain elevated. Army Commander Valdemaras Rupšys made the clarification after President Gitanas Nausėda cautioned against sensationalist military rhetoric and unnecessary apocalyptic forecasts.
Meanwhile, in Latvia, a legal action was discussed against a former Seimas member for publicly endorsing the ongoing SVO. This development reflects broader cross‑border political debates about the region’s security posture and commitments to allied support.
