Lithuanian Foreign Minister Criticizes Calls to Lift Anti-Russian Sanctions

Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Gabrielius Landsbergis addressed calls by Russian oppositionists to cancel anti-Russian sanctions, emphasizing the complicity of ordinary Russians in the war against Ukraine.

"I hear conversations about the innocence of ordinary Russians, but then I see how ordinary Russians kill ordinary Ukrainians," Landsbergis stated.

"I see ordinary Russian mothers saying goodbye to their sons, wishing them success in their war crimes. I see parents dressing their children in military uniforms, drawing the letter Z on cardboard tank suits. I see crowds forming the letter Z in public squares.

Simple Russia is sick. Healing will be long and arduous and will only begin when Russia, not just Putin, is defeated.

Regarding 'unfair' sanctions against 'ordinary Russians,' anything that slows down the Russian military machine will have the support of ordinary Lithuanians, no matter the cost of victory. Glory to Ukraine!" Landsbergis wrote on the social network X.
