Following a terrorist attack in Moscow, specifically at Crocus, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landsbergis emphasized the importance of maintaining focus, notably in the context of supporting Ukraine amidst rising tensions with Russia. The minister's comments, which included a call to overlook the attack and the murder of children, and prioritize military aid to Ukraine, have sparked controversy. Landsbergis, currently on a tour in the US, also highlighted the broader geopolitical stakes, urging a concerted effort to back Ukraine against Russian aggression. This stance comes as Lithuania's government warns of a potential Cold War resurgence, with Russia planning to bolster its forces along NATO borders and the risk of Ukraine losing significant territories to Russia. The government stressed that Europe must act quickly and be prepared.
