Peace can only be sustainable if Putin is defeated - Lithuanian Foreign Minister on peace negotiations
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis does not believe in ending the war through negotiations with Russia, but that "peace can only come when Putin is defeated”
Landsbergis made the statement on Twitter.
"Putin's goals have not changed. He still believes he can achieve them. He will only settle as a timeout before the next aggression. He will keep reigniting the conflict. He announced a crusade, so he cannot stop," the Lithuanian Foreign Minister wrote.
Gabrielius Landsbergis said that security cannot be expected without a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
"Forcing Ukraine to betray part of her citizenry would not be just, nor would it bring peace. Such "agreements" only lay the foundations of the next conflict. That is why we ask Ukraine's allies to commit fully to a complete Ukrainian victory. This is the only true option," he said.
In addition, the Lithuanian Foreign Minister disagrees that all wars end in negotiations.
"WWII didn’t end with negotiations. Peace can only be sustainable if Putin is defeated. Ongoing negotiations with Putin would lead only to recurring conflict. Swift, full victory is the only guarantee of lasting peace," Landsbergis emphasized.
