European Pravda reports.

According to the Lithuanian foreign ministry, at a joint meeting of the foreign ministers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia with their American counterpart Antony Blinken, they discussed "regional security issues, further assistance to Ukraine and key objectives of the NATO summit in Washington."

"If we continue to draw red lines for ourselves instead of developing plans for Ukraine's victory, Russia and other authoritarian countries will continue their aggression. Without US leadership, Ukraine will not be able to win this war," Landsbergis said.

In addition, the Lithuanian minister thanked the United States for its military presence in the Baltic States, adding that "the transatlantic connection is a key factor in ensuring European security and a rules-based international order."
