According to the head of Lithuanian diplomacy, Gabrielus Landsbergis, the new wave of nuclear blackmail by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is just a bluff.
Putin is trying to scare Western leaders
According to the diplomat, the illegitimate president of the Russian Federation is convinced that China, Latin America, and Africa support him.
However, what is important to understand is that if Vladimir Putin's nuclear weapons threats become a reality, "the entire partnership will disappear in an instant."
Gabrielus Landsbergis also emphasised that the position taken by some major powers to avoid escalation could be catastrophic.
This path, if we follow our strategy, leads to the destruction of the country. This can lead to a real conflict already outside of Ukraine, other countries can be drawn into it. Because we are sending a very clear signal to Putin: if you threaten us, we will retreat, noted the Lithuanian MFA chief.
Training on the use of nuclear weapons will take place in Russia
