The President: Kremlin’s brutal regime will not stop unless we stop it

On Friday, President Gitanas Nausėda is on a working visit to Warsaw. On Friday morning, the President participated in a meeting of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF). During the meeting, the leaders of the JEF nations discussed measures to respond to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Addressing the leaders of the JEF countries, the President stressed that Russia’s large-scale military aggression against Ukraine was an attack against the entire democratic world.

“Putin is attacking Ukraine, Kyiv is being bombed. The Kremlin’s brutal regime will not

stop unless we stop it. With its aggressive military actions, Russia is seeking to destroy the security architecture of the Western world and replace it with an order based on violence, use of force and aggression. We cannot let this happen,” the President said.

Gitanas Nausėda presented Lithuania’s proposed response to Russia. According to the President, the whole world must strongly and unconditionally condemn Russia’s aggression and the involvement of Belarus in organizing the invasion of Ukraine.

“We must immediately suspend Russia’s membership of international organizations. The aggressor has no place in the G20 and the UN Security Council. Sanctions must be further tightened by cutting Russia off from the SWIFT system and by stopping the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline,” Gitanas Nausėda said.

The President also stressed the need to strengthen support for Ukraine by all possible means and to increase the military readiness of allies.
