Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has plunged the two countries into a quagmire of war and exacerbated the international situation. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press on the 9th that removing the ruling regime headed by Russian President Vladimir Putin is the only way to protect Western countries from Russian threats. He called on international Society takes tougher measures against Russia.
According to the Associated Press, Lansbergis pointed to Putin’s “unremarkable” Victory Day speech and that some Russian generals and other participants were “desperate” as one of the signs of the war’s defeat. “People don’t usually see these sad faces in military parades because they remember the greatest victory they ever had, but it’s not a victory day for them, as many of them know,” he said. They are losing the war.”
Lance Burgess warns that the “wounded Putin” will be more dangerous, the only way to eliminate the threat is to drive him away, and neighboring countries will remain in some way at risk until the current Russian regime falls , as long as there is a regime that intends to wage war outside Russia, the neighboring countries of Russia will be in danger, he stressed: “Not only Putin is to be removed, but the entire regime, if Putin is replaced, A Putin could come to power again.”
Lansburgis mentioned that after Georgia in 2008, the Crimea peninsula in 2014, and this invasion of Ukraine, Russia has proven to be an aggressive state, which is already very clear. Lithuania is very pleased with the support provided by NATO allies to other countries in the eastern flank of NATO, but more support is still needed in the future. Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia will call on NATO to provide more defense capabilities at sea and in the air.
