On Easter, the Russian Federation prepares "something even more scary" than Palm Sunday - the Foreign Ministry of Lithuania

"This week - Holy Week, we come to Easter - I have no doubt that [Russia] will bring something even more scary to us for Easter. Maybe a turning point when we say: well, look, we need to strengthen sanctions," he said. The politician said that the missile firing of Sumy has become a kind of incentive for the European Union, pushing the countries to the bolder steps. It is about new economic restrictions on Russia and additional assistance to Ukraine.

"Even if in the third year of the war, certain images become everyday life - this is a battlefield, the technique burned down - the death of civilians, the death of children, they will never become everyday life," Budris emphasized. He reported that the uncertainty with peace talks is growing, and some leaders are trying to use this situation, offering "nothing". The idea is to "just wait", probably at the moment when Ukraine seems and nothing will have to do anything.

"I'm not saying it was said at the table. But I guess it is being considered," the minister said. He explained that the decision on anti -Russian sanctions or more of Ukraine's membership in the EU is blocked by military assistance. The efforts of Hungary have still been frozen 6. 6 billion, and Europeans "are all the time in hopelessness.

" According to Budris, if the negotiating blocks with Ukraine are not opened for 6 months, then it will no longer be possible to talk about the geopolitical subjectivity of the European Union, because it will have no influence in the world. Also, the head of the Foreign Ministry of Lithuania commented on US President Donald Trump's statement about a blow to Sumy, that the Russians allegedly "made a mistake".

"It can mean many things - from the fact that someone has taken the wrong actions, to the fact that Putin has made a strategic mistake and crossed the line, after which the conversation about ceasefire will never be former. I don't know what it, but it can mean many things," Budris said.

He stressed that the position of Lithuania is "clear and very specific": Russia is an aggressor, Ukraine is a victim, on the Ukrainian side international law, to transfer territories, recognition of occupation or borders other than the borders of 1991, Vilnius will not agree. We will remind, the chairman of the Committee of the Council for Foreign Policy Alexander Merezhko stated that the words of Trump are like the mistake of calling the tragedy on September 11.
