China's 17+1 format was already redundant and divisive long before Lithuania quit. Latvia and Estonia are now closing the door too. 14+1 should be replaced with EU27+1.

Pressure from China inspired us to diversify and restructure. In the last 6 months we've increased Indo-Pacific exports by 60% and overall exports by 27%. https://bit.ly/3A9UWRU

Now @SpeakerPelosi has opened the door to Taiwan much wider, I am sure other defenders of freedom and democracy will be walking through very soon.

The agreement to unblock Odesa would have been impossible without HIMARS. It's now very clear that the war will end earlier if we arm Ukraine faster.

Good to talk with @SecBlinken, this time about sanctions against Russia and opening the port of Odesa. Lithuania will always stand up for democracy and we are grateful for the continued US support.

I can always speak warmly and frankly with Polish Foreign Minister @RauZbigniew, reflecting the special relationship between our two countries. Here in Kaunas, European Capital of Culture, we discussed further support for victory and rebuilding of Ukraine. 🇵🇱🇱🇹❤️🇺🇦

Had a great call with the FM of #Estonia @UrmasReinsalu. Discussed the need to enhance assistance to #Ukraine to achieve victory, covered 🇱🇹-🇪🇪 relations. Looking forward to working close with my Estonian colleague!

Today at #FAC I called:
- to focus on a European postwar strategy for #Ukraine🇺🇦
- to continue delivery of heavy weaponry:more & faster;
- to have an active list of Putin’s henchmen/possibility to sanction them immediately.
Our current actions will define European future🇪🇺

I am profoundly shocked by the appalling fatal attack on the former Prime Minister and long-time friend of Lithuania, #ShinzoAbe. Sending our deepest sympathies to all the people of #Japan. May his legacy of democracy and free and open Indo-Pacific live on.

Transatlantic relations are getting stronger! Thank you Canada 🇨🇦!
RT @melaniejoly: Depuis l'invasion de l’🇺🇦 par la 🇷🇺, le monde subit un virage géopolitique. Le 🇨🇦 doit promouvoir ses intérêts, protéger la démocratie & repousser l'influence russe.
C'est pourquoi nous augmentons notre présence diplomatique en :
✔️Estonie
✔️Lituanie
✔️Slovaquie
✔️Lettonie

Putin again makes it clear he has no regard for civilian lives. We must now give the brave people of Ukraine all the weapons they need to defend their lives and their freedom. #Kremenchuk #ArmUkraineNow

RT @IngridaSimonyte: Any talk of a blockade of Kaliningrad is a lie.
Lithuania is complying with the sanctions imposed by the 🇪🇺 on Russia for its aggression and war against 🇺🇦.
The sanctions were agreed by all the EU member states on March 15.

To summarise:
Ukraine's grain, more than 10% of the world's food supply, has been blockaded by Russia in the Black Sea.
But Russia prefers to talk about the EU sanctioning 1% of cargo to Kaliningrad, which is steel, which is not food.

Recommendation of @EU_Commission to grant 🇺🇦Ukraine candidate status is as much a victory for #Ukraine as is for #Europe. Ukraine with sheding blood for its independence is also helping the 🇪🇺European Union to emerge as a real geopolitical union.

My 2nd bilateral meet w/ colleague and friend @JanLipavsky in less than 3 months. Today mostly about helping #Ukraine unblock its ports, rearm itself & win the war. 🇨🇿-🇱🇹 shares not only views but also interest in building a lasting strategy of containment against the aggressor

During #IndoPacific event at @CzechMFA presented 5 points on how to contain current aggressors to deter future ones:
1.Isolate aggressor
2.Assist nation under attack
3.Don’t yield to nuclear blackmail
4.Disrupt global manipulation (as w/ hunger)
5.Prove resilience of a democracy

RT @DmytroKuleba: Focused call with my Lithuanian colleague and friend @glandsbergis. We work closely together to solve the problem of unblocking Ukrainian food exports. Lithuania fully understands and shares Ukraine’s security concerns. We need more heavy weapons to protect Odesa from the sea.
