Russian combatants should be banned from entering the Schengen Area. Our message is simple: there is no place in Europe for Russian war criminals. Forget your sunny European holidays and Aperol spritzes in our capitals while your country wages a brutal war and bloodshed in #Ukraine. #FAC

Russia escalates when it sees hesitation. It tests limits when it senses weakness. When #NATO increased its presence in the #BalticSea, disruptions of undersea cables stopped. When we reinforced military posture at the eastern flank, provocations stopped. Presence. Deterrence. Readiness. They work. Europe must act with confidence - strenght is the language Russia understands. #BalticSentry #EasternSentry #WeAreNATO

It’s pathetic to let the Kremlin dictate who gets to speak to #Russia on #Europe’s behalf. And more importantly - what exactly is there to talk about? First, Europe should agree on its own demands, define its leverage, and set clear strategic goals. Until that happens, any talk is simply out of the question.

#Lithuania is under a combined hybrid attack: balloons violating our airspace and disrupting civil aviation, while Belarus seizes trucks to blackmail our economy. Over 30,000 passengers affected, 200+ flights redirected, and 1,000+ trucks held hostage. Belarusian blackmail requires a strong response. The #EU must act decisively - protect Member States, defend 🇪🇺 companies and their property, impose tougher sanctions on Belarus, and confront this escalation with unity and strength. Dictatorships only understand pressure and language of force.

Russia is and will remain a direct military threat to NATO — even after any future ceasefire in #Ukraine 🇺🇦. Today, Russia and its accomplice Belarus wage hybrid war against the Alliance: GPS jamming, spoofing, and smuggling balloons disrupting civil aviation and threatening democratic societies. #NATO must respond with strong readiness and resolve — fully committing to The Hague decisions, reinforcing air defense and resilience, and continuing military support to Ukraine. #NATOFMM

Lithuania’s skies are not a playground for provocations. Repeated violations of 🇱🇹 airspace by Belarusian balloons — disrupting civil aviation and intimidating our society — are not isolated incidents. They are hybrid attacks. In a recent interview with Maria Tadeo for euronews, I called on #EU🇪🇺 to extend sanctions on the Lukashenka regime for its orchestrated malign activities. #HybridWarfare must have real consequences.

Lithuania is once again facing a hybrid attack from #Belarus. This time, smuggling balloons are being used to disrupt civil aviation& cause damage. Ahead of today’s #FAC, I underlined that #Lithuania is doing its job to protect its border. Now the #EU must send a strong message through additional sanctions on the Lukashenka regime. When Europe responds firmly, dictators step back.
