Today, on 28 November in Berlin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis and Germany’s Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock opened the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum 2023.
“For Lithuania, Germany’s decision to permanently deploy a heavy brigade in Lithuania is a genuine symbol of Zeitenwende. We are extremely grateful to Germany for standing with us,” Landsbergis said.
In his speech, Lithuania’s Foreign Minister emphasised the importance of Ukraine for European security, the need to invest in our own security and the importance of German leadership for the security of our continent.
“Yet the war fatigue is a phenomenon of societies living in peace; for Ukraine, giving in to fatigue would mean ceasing to exist. Which means that we cannot give in either. In the West, we certainly have the resources to ensure Ukraine’s victory,” Landsbergis noted.
“If we choose not to help Ukrainians restore their borders according to international law, we will be opening the gates of instability and it will take a very long time to close them.
That was my message at the #BerlinForum which I was honoured to open today with @ABaerbock,” Landsbergis posted.
