According to the head of the Lithuanian MFA, Gabrielius Landsbergis, Ukraine risks being unwittingly involved in negotiations with Russia since the Western partners do not provide the necessary number of weapons and other assistance.

Can the slow pace of Western military aid force Ukraine to negotiate with the Russian Federation?

Landsbergis noted that Ukraine does not have missile systems and ammunition, and the slow pace of decision-making by Brussels and other EU countries may put Kyiv in a position where there will be no other option but to negotiate with the aggressor country.

This would not be Ukraine's choice. The Ukraine we know, and the Ukraine we will help as long as we breathe, would never choose to negotiate with terrorists. But the reality may turn out to be just like this, chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania warned.

Widespread support for Ukraine is gradually weakening, as the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian military did not bring the desired success.

It looks comical when we see that North Korea helps Russia more than the European Union helps Ukraine, Landsbergis said.
