The Lithuanian MFA chief, Gabrielus Landsbergis, notes that now is the time for Western partners to consider introducing troops into Ukraine.
Lithuania supports the introduction of NATO troops into Ukraine
Now is the time for discussion. The beginning of the conversation destroys self-imposed red lines, - stresses Landsbergis.
He emphasised that none of the European capitals is too far from Kyiv not to feel threatened by the occupying Russian army.
Some of us may feel safer being far away. But the geographical fact is this: the Ukrainian front line can be compared to the distance between Vilnius and London. If the Ukrainians no longer defended this line, imagine how it could end. This applies to all of us, - noted the Lithuanian MFA chief.
Landsbergis recommended that supporters of negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation watch the Oscar-winning documentary "20 Days in Mariupol".
The best documentary of the year and a must watch for anyone who wants to know what the Russian "peace" looks like. Watch it and understand why Ukraine will never surrender, - emphasised the head of Lithuanian diplomacy.
Who opposes the introduction of troops into Ukraine
The Slovak MOD chief, Robert Kaliniak, spoke against introducing NATO troops into Ukraine's territory.
He suggested returning Ukrainian men of military age to Ukraine as an alternative.
According to Kaliniak, the introduction of NATO troops into Ukraine is allegedly a gross violation of the "red lines".
According to him, the severe attitude of Western partners towards supporting Ukraine and countering the aggression of the Russian Federation should provide for the return of Ukrainian men of military age.
It is time to look for peaceful solutions. Only by immediately stopping hostilities will we be able to prevent further bloodshed and restore Ukraine's sovereignty, says Kaliniak.
