“They are dangerous for us, Lithuania, because they not only normalize relations with that regime (Russian President Vladimir Putin – BNS), but also normalize what that regime is doing,” Gabriel Landsberg told reporters in the Seimas on Thursday.

“It’s a very strong signal to all the other aggressors, the potential criminals, that if you commit a crime and don’t wipe you out in three months, then everything’s fine, everything can stay,” he said.

According to the head of Lithuanian diplomacy, Russia seeks to normalize part of the proposals for recognizing the territory of Ukraine further.

“It simply came to our notice then. On the one hand, we name the Putinist regime that rules Russia today as a genocidal regime, it is ready to wipe out people just because they belong to one nation or another. Any normalization with this mode is incomprehensible to me. “Both Kissinger’s and other leaders’ statements in that direction are fundamentally inadequate to the reality we are seeing today,” Landsberg said.

He stressed that the end of this war must be announced in Kyjiv.

“It simply came to our notice then. No Western state, no state in the world can speak for them, because the Ukrainians are paying with blood for this war. We only pay the bills, and some are not even very large. “It is not possible that by covering the small bill, you will take responsibility for when the war in Ukraine will end,” said the Lithuanian Minister.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, said Ukraine should give up part of its territory to Russia to end the war. He said the humiliating defeat of Russia could lead to greater destabilization.

Kissinger argued that it would be ideal to return to status quobefore the Russian invasion began on February 24.

Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, and pro-Russian separatist groups began to control part of the easternmost part of Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk.
