“I have seen many “red lines” drawn, and sometimes I even think that these “red lines” were not drawn by us, the Western countries, democracies, but by the terrorist state Russia, which is trying to draw them with intimidation and threats. And it is trying to impose them ,” Nauseda told Lithuanian public television.
He pointed out that several “red lines” have already been violated regarding Ukraine.
“I’m not just talking about the tank [piegādi]. The status of a candidate country for the European Union was also once a taboo, a “red line” for Ukraine. I remember it well. Also, when the war started, Germany initially categorically said that they would only send vests, helmets and the like, but no weapons. However, this “red line” was also violated quite a long time ago,” said the President of Lithuania.
“This Rubicon has been crossed, so I hope that this ‘red line’ – that it really is, and I think it’s only in our heads – will also be crossed,” he added, commenting on Kyiv’s request for fighter jets and long-range missiles. rockets.
“Because fighter jets and long-range missiles are basic military aid, and at this crucial stage of the war, when a turning point is imminent, it is essential that we act immediately,” urged Nausea.
“So my answer to your question is that such ‘red lines’ must be crossed,” he added.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has announced that Ukraine needs more supplies of heavy weapons from NATO allies, including fighter jets and long-range missiles, to fight the nearly year-long Russian invasion.
