Ukrajnát meg kell hívni a NATO-ba - mondta az Euronewsnak a litván védelmi miniszter

Laurynas Kasčiūnas, the Lithuanian defense minister, expressed strong support for Ukrainian President Zelensky's Victory Plan regarding NATO membership. He emphasized that Lithuania has always backed Ukraine's invitation to NATO, arguing against sending a message to Russia that it has a veto over NATO expansion. He highlighted the importance of Ukraine's right to self-determination and criticized the hesitation of some EU and NATO members, including the US, Slovakia, and Hungary, in providing support. Kasčiūnas warned that inaction leads to escalation, reflecting on past mistakes during the lead-up to the war.
