Lithuania sends thoughts and prayers to Türkiye, but also half a million euros' worth of tents, sheets, blankets, medical equipment, medicines and cash. And a team of 40 rescuers.
We will work with our allies to get the help to where it's needed as fast as possible.

The Russian budget deficit is growing, revenues from oil and gas are halved, components are hard to find, McPutin burgers are terrible.
Sanctions are working, more sanctions would work even better.

Releasing Mikheil Saakashvili for medical care abroad would be the best solution – for him, for his family, and for the sake of Georgia’s European future.

Today my deepest sympathies are with the victims of the terrible earthquake in Türkiye and Syria. Lithuania stands in solidarity, ready to provide tents, blankets and medical services to help the rescue and relief operation.

Lithuania is only 3 million people, but this week we crowdfunded 6 million euros to buy air defence systems for Ukraine. 🇱🇹💕🇺🇦
No sign of fatigue here. We will stand with Ukraine until victory is achieved.

The Baltic States and Poland are united in support of Ukraine and realistic when assessing threats to our security. We met in Riga to reaffirm our close partnership and discuss what very well could be the emergence of a new European security architecture.

Our thoughts are with the families of the victims of the horrific and senseless attack in Israel. We will continue to stand with and work with our partners against terrorism.

Great discussion with my good friend @DmytroKuleba on coordination of further sanctions, OSCE matters, the Special Tribunal and accelerating Ukraine's victory.

The fight against racism and fascism continues every day. We must never be afraid to fight these battles. The consequences of inaction are far more horrific. #WeRemember

The longer we discuss how Ukraine should or should not be helped, the more Putin can build up his armed forces and murder civilians. That is why we need to overcome our fear of victory and act now.

If we fully and finally accept that Russia has to lose in order for us to avoid future wars, then I believe all the other questions about support for Ukraine will be much easier to answer.

There is no win-win scenario in Ukraine. For the foundations of international law to survive, Ukrainians must regain and retain 100% of their territory and sovereignty.

The thing that holds us back is fear. We are afraid of what will happen if Russia actually loses this war. 🧵

We, 🇱🇹 🇱🇻🇪🇪 Foreign Ministers, call on Germany to provide Leopard tanks to Ukraine now. This is needed to stop Russian aggression, help Ukraine and restore peace in Europe quickly. Germany as the leading European power has special responsibility in this regard.

Had a talk with @EU_Commission Vice-President @VeraJourova about censorship on social networks. Trollfarms must be stopped, but we also need pro-democracy bloggers, activists and fundraisers to be promoted and supported, not restricted or censored.

Great news that Lithuania and Teltonika have been chosen by Taiwan for investment in semiconductor manufacture. Proud of our tech sector, happy to do business and diversify with our democratic friends abroad.

Putin is hiding behind empty threats. He is trying to revive the cold war, because he knows we have the weapons to help Ukraine win the hot war very quickly.
So that is exactly what we must do.
