I have no illusions about Russian regime and their intent - whatever nice stories they are telling about cooperation. What they really want is territories and to subjugate their neighbours. This is who we are dealing with.

Today in Jerusalem, I met with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער. #Lithuania regards #Israel as an important partner, particularly in security and defense. Even when our views differ, our path is clear: partnership, dialogue and mutual respect. 🇱🇹🤝🇮🇱

Russia’s intent is very clear - they want #NATO destroyed and dismantled, the U.S. pushed out of Europe, the continent's security architecture reshaped. Kremlin is working on this specific goal. It’s not only about #Ukraine.

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.

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

Support for #Ukraine shouldn’t be a talking point - it should be a budget line. Lithuania commits 0.25% of GDP to 🇺🇦 - this year, next year& beyond. Europe needs less talk and more money on the table. Put your money where your mouth is.

The only language Russia understands is strength - and Europe must speak it clearly. - Step up support for #Ukraine - Move forward with the 19th sanctions package without delay - End all Russian energy imports to Europe, once and for all

#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.

On Ukraine’s Unity Day, we are sending warmth from Lithuania - electricity generators worth more than 2 million euros. #Lithuania stands with #Ukraine. Slava Ukraini! 🇱🇹❤️🇺🇦

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

#Ukraine needs financial support - not political pledges. I urge the #EU to move on using the frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s needs. The future of Europe’s security is decided in 🇺🇦.

The right and just use of Russia's frozen assets is for the needs of #Ukraine. The #EU should further work on this issue. There is a sound legal path towards it. The aggressor has to pay back.

Let’s set the record straight: Russia is the aggressor and #Ukraine is the victim of its aggression. #Lithuania will never recognize any illegal occupation of Ukrainian territory.

Lukashenka enabled Russia’s aggression by surrendering Belarusian soil and airspace. He must be held accountable for the crime of aggression and every crime committed against #Ukraine.

There is nothing more expensive than cheap Russian oil. Any solution to rising energy prices should not come at the cost of weakening sanctions against #Russia or #Belarus. #FAC

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.

Every barrel of oil and every cubic meter of gas bought from #Russia fuels more bullets and missiles against the people of #Ukraine. It’s time to cut off the Kremlin’s energy cash flow and break its war machine. #WeStandWithUkraine

For Putin, bombs speak louder than diplomacy. Only sustained pressure on Russia can compel it to seek peace.

One of the permanent members of the #UN Security Council - Russia - is daily brutally violating the principles the 🇺🇳 was built to uphold, the Council risks becoming not just ineffective, but irrelevant. If Russia is allowed to redraw borders in Europe without consequences, it sends a clear message: aggression works, and the rules don’t apply. The era of symbolic gestures is over. The international community must act - decisively and collectively - to defend the rules-based order and ensure that no act of aggression goes unanswered. Fox News

It was a pleasure to meet Finnish President Alexander Stubb in Helsinki today. Lithuania and Finland share a core interest in strengthening the Nordic-Baltic region and pursuing a lasting& just peace in #Ukraine. Peace in Ukraine is peace in Europe. For Europe to remain strong& secure, it must enhance its defenses and ensure a unified voice on the global stage.
