Reuters reported this with reference to the comment of Lithuania's Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė.
“My message is - we need to have patience. Because there are no sanctions that can switch Russia off overnight. It is not possible, we should not look for this,” Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė said.
Šimonytė added that there is a broad consensus among NATO allies that Ukraine cannot be pressured about when to start negotiations with the aggressor. She also spoke in favor of NATO strengthening air defense not only of the countries of the Alliance's Eastern flank, but also of Ukraine.
She declined to comment on whether she intends to run for the position of Secretary General of the Alliance after Jens Stoltenberg, who is due to leave in September 2023.
