🇱🇹🤝🇵🇱
Excited to be in #Warsaw today to meet key leaders of the Polish Parliament. Strengthening the #Lithuania - #Poland strategic partnership is crucial in today's complex geopolitical landscape. Grateful for the company of Radvilė Morkūnaitė & ŽygimantasPavilionis🇱🇹🇺🇦🇺🇸🇹🇼🇮🇱 on this important mission.
Thoughts & prayers are with the brave people of Taiwan and our allies in the Indo-Pacific region in the aftermath of the #TaiwanEarthquake . Wishing safety and strength to all affected.
20 years ago, #Lithuania joined NATO, standing strong in unity with our allies. Together, we've upheld peace and security, showing that #WeAreNATO - one for all and all for one.
Today, the Seimas | #StandWithUkraine commemorated 20 years since #Lithuania 's #NATO membership! This historic moment strengthens our country's and the whole region's security. Read my statement on this occasion (in Lithuanian):

Today’s special guest: Oleksandr Korniyenko , 1st Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of #Ukraine . His active role in 🇺🇦's EU integration & public admin. reform is commendable. Honored to present him with the resolution for support to Ukraine, adopted unanimously last week by Seimas | #StandWithUkraine.
#OTD in 1994, Belarus adopted its Constitution, marking a milestone post-Soviet independence. Yet, as Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya aptly pointed out at Seimas | #StandWithUkraine today it is a captive of Lukashenko's authoritarian regime, much like the 1500+ political prisoners kept in Belarusian jails.
The Seimas | #StandWithUkraine unanimously passed the resolution I introduced in full support of #Ukraine . Key positions include military aid, NATO membership, using Russia's frozen assets, non-recognition of Russian elections in occupied territories, & returning children taken from Ukraine.
