Ukraine: Lithuanian President calls for tougher sanctions against Russia

Lithuanian President Gitana Nauseda said tonight that the European Union should impose the toughest possible sanctions on Russia and give Ukraine “a much more transparent and visible way” to become a member of the bloc.

Arriving at the emergency EU summit after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Nauseda said: “This is a completely inappropriate act of aggression. Unfortunately, we did not succeed, we were not strong enough to prevent Russia from doing so the step”.

“And this is a tragedy for Ukraine, for Europe and for Russia itself. We can not afford to be a forum for discussion. I still believe in the EU’s ability to prevent such actions in the middle of Europe.”

“Tomorrow may be too late,” he concluded.
