Lithuania's president emphasized the importance of Kyiv's participation in securing an end to the fighting in Ukraine. President Gitanas Nauseda expressed concerns that a settlement without proper deterrent measures could allow Russia to strengthen its military capabilities for future aggression in the region.
Nauseda highlighted the need for increased defense spending by regional countries to prevent potential Russian threats. He warned that Russia might exploit any ceasefire to consolidate forces and prepare for further aggression, posing a risk not only to Ukraine but also to Baltic countries like Lithuania.
