Keep arching the fire! Lithuania’s foreign minister declared that "the Russian regime must be overthrown" and sought a permanent US military presence in Lithuania.
[Global Network Reporter Wang Yixuan] According to a report by CNN on the 10th, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Lenz Belguise announced that he would overthrow the Russian regime that day, saying that only in this way can Russia’s "belligerence" be ended. It is worth noting that he also reiterated the old saying that Lithuania is seeking a permanent US military presence in Lithuania, saying that this will be "the greatest deterrent to aggressors such as Russia".
CNN said that Lentz Belguise said in an interview with the media on the 10th that European and American countries have always focused on the "tactical method" of the Ukrainian war, but they still need to consider the longer-term issues strategically — — The world needs to be prepared, and Russia "may go to war again, and does not rule out (against) NATO countries."
He further declared, "Some countries think that we will return to normal just by waiting for the end of the war, but Russia has left the civilized world order, and its belligerence will end when the Russian regime ends."
However, the report noted that Lentz Belguise did not put forward specific suggestions for western countries, but analyzed that "it may take a long time to change this situation, because we do not change it by any active means. Therefore, it can only be changed from within (Russia). "
It is worth mentioning that Lentz Belguise also revealed to CNN on the same day that Lithuania is seeking a permanent US military presence in the country, saying that this is "the greatest deterrent to Russian and other aggressors". Lentz Belguise said that Lithuania will also seek further support from NATO at the NATO summit in Madrid, Spain next month.
The report mentioned that Lithuania has been a "staunch supporter" of Ukraine since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and it is also the first country in the EU to stop buying Russian natural gas. Lithuania’s parliament unanimously passed a resolution on the 10th, accusing Russian armed forces and mercenaries of "committing war crimes" in Ukraine and identifying Russia as a "country that supports and implements terrorism". In response, Dzhabarov, first vice-chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian Federation Council (the upper house of parliament), warned that Lithuanian actions may lead to the complete interruption of economic and trade relations between the two countries, and may also lead to the reduction of diplomatic relations between the two countries to the level of chargé d ‘affaires.
