🇪🇺 and 🇺🇦 Ambassadors to 🇨🇳 stress: Ukraine is ready for peace-but it must be just, lasting, and rooted in sovereignty & international law. The EU stands fully behind UA and calls on global partners, incl. #China, to press RU for an immediate ceasefire. @EUdelChina

Great conversation with @DavidLammy in London today.
Europe’s role in working toward just& lasting peace in #Ukraine is crucial. Appreciate the UK leadership on this matter.
It’s clear what we have to do:
- Strengthen Ukraine
- Pressure Russia
- Boost our own defenses
Europe is a global power and must act like one.

🧵1/4 Just & lasting peace in #Ukraine is the ultimate goal. What is the path to it? The path to peace is Russian weapons going silent. It will happen as soon as Russia runs short of money & technologies for their production. Here’s how to achieve it:

The Nordic-Baltic countries stand with #Ukraine. We reaffirmed our unwavering support at the meeting with @andrii_sybiha in Munich today.
Our priority is to strengthen Ukraine. Nordic-Baltic countries are among the largest per-capita contributors of military assistance & will further bolster our support.
We are determined to further strengthen our collective security and defence & take on responsibility for peace and security in Europe.

Congratulations, @marcorubio, on your appointment as #US Secretary of State!
I look forward to working together on building stronger transatlantic space and bringing peace back to the European continent. It starts with clear commitment to collective defense. Lithuania& US share the view on this.
In allies we trust! 🇱🇹🤝🇺🇸

Energy blackmail is Kremlin's signature move. A long list of countries in Europe have faced it in one way or another.
Cutting gas supplies to #Moldova is Russia's desperate attempt to destabilize the region. Moldova’s resilience and European support will expose this strategy for what it is - nothing but a failing power play.

Terrible attack in New Orleans with innocent lives lost and many left injured. Hope that those responsible will be brought to justice. Deepest condolences to the families of the victims, and prays for a swift recovery of injured 🙏🇺🇸 #neworeleans

Damaged critical undersea infrastructure power cables linking Finland and Estonia show us the increasing frequency of cable disruptions in the Baltic Sea.
It no longer seems like a coincidence.
Protecting maritime infrastructure must be raised both at the #NATO level and bilaterally as a key priority in Baltic Sea cooperation.
Mantvydas Bekesius retweeted
Russia invested $10 bn to build its ‘shadow fleet’ apparently not just to escape sanctions. Too many coincidences with severed communications and electrical cables. We have not ‘to seek cooperation’ in checking certain ships, but simply to ban their activities in the Baltic Sea.
Mantvydas Bekesius retweeted
The growing number of undersea incidents in the Baltic Sea, affecting critical infrastructure, should serve as a stark& urgent warning to both #NATO& #EU.
In light of recent risks posed by third-country vessels& particularly shadow fleet, it’s imperative that we significantly enhance the protection of critical infrastructure in the Baltic sea to minimise vulnerabilities. All mechanisms within #NATO, international& regional security formats must be enabled. The upgrade of navigation rules in shallow seas must also be on the table.

The first HIMARS systems are set to arrive in Lithuania next year & we are eagerly preparing for their delivery. Our troops are currently exercising in Germany to operate HIMARS effectively & work alongside other units, training in close cooperation with US forces.

Meeting between 🇱🇹 & 🇺🇦 Cabinets reaffirms our unity in countering Russia’s assault on freedom. Thank you, @Denys_Shmyhal, for the invitation and for the great exchange on what can be done more in multiple areas of our cooperation: military, energy, humanitarian assistance, 🇺🇦 reconstruction, etc.

Footage we have never seen in Finnish TV before, modern day Finnish Defence Forces mechanized counter attack in Konflikti (Conflict-miniseries)
Times have truly changed.

I'll just leave this here as a reminder to the Kremlin's monsters: all your attempts to undermine support to Ukraine are falling flat.
The governments of #Lithuania& #Ukraine in #Kyiv - unshaken in our commitment to freedom and victory.
Все буде Україна! 🇺🇦🇱🇹

No one should ever be punished for speaking out against terror and aggression. The aggressor is the one who should be held accountable.
I'm proud of Lithuanians who bravely stand up for freedom and their values in all circumstances. We’ve got your back, Kornelija Dūdaitė! 🇱🇹
