Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landsbergis called on NATO to close Ukraine with a “nuclear umbrella”

The North Atlantic Alliance must cover Ukraine with a “nuclear umbrella”, and it is time for Europe to change its geopolitical mentality to a military one. This statement was made by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.

The Lithuanian politician, speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum, proposed extending Article 5 of the NATO Charter “On Collective Security” to Ukraine. According to him, the “nuclear umbrella” should also extend to Ukraine. Landsbergis called on Europe to move away from the “geopolitical mentality” that developed after the fall of the Berlin Wall and move to a military one.



(...) we must be prepared for many contingencies that may arise from what is happening. And from this mentality follow: Ukraine in NATO, a transatlantic region that should expand and embrace the “nuclear umbrella”, the fifth article of NATO, countries left in the “gray zone” and because of this attacked, striving for the West, but not located there

- said the Lithuanian minister.

As part of this new mentality, he proposed further expanding NATO to include "gray zone" countries, meaning Ukraine and other former Soviet republics, as well as increasing the protection of countries close to Russia, that is, Poland and the Baltic states. He poured out words of gratitude to Germany, which agreed to station a brigade on the territory of Lithuania on a permanent basis.

We must protect those on the border, like my country, like Poland. Much has already been done about this, I am extremely grateful for a step that deserves more attention - the German decision to station a permanent brigade in Lithuania, which already reflects this geopolitical change

- he added.

          Increasingly, the realization is coming that the boys have reached an agreement and Europe has been written off as scrap. Russia was given carte blanche to clear and develop new territories. It’s not for nothing that the Supreme Commander established a new holiday - the Day of the Entry of New Regions into Russia!

        There are a lot of downs there, they are ready to bear the blizzard, and if it gets hot, they will run ahead and faster than everyone else. The truth is there will be nowhere to run. Russia cannot be taken lightly now; if they fit into the process, they will become participants in the conflict. And how the jackal yelps from the underworld... Lithuania doesn’t want to try it herself?! Idle talk, Lithuania deserves such politicians.

        So as not to be drawn on his face, he threw the first pebble. And this is not the result of their strength, but the result of our weakness. And everyone, especially there, sees it. It is not the Russian army that is advancing, but the Ukrainian one for now. And no one knows what will happen in the winter and spring of 2024. Will the army go forward or will we just fight back and rejoice at it. Several ships with grain left the ports of the region, several more were approaching for grain, and no one inspected them; no one knows what they were taking there. And if they left with grain and go again, it means everything is working in the ports. Apparently, not all Geraniums reach the target, their air defense has been strengthened, and those that reach cannot cause critical damage to the port facilities. Everything is like last winter with electrical shocks. They beat them, they beat them, they didn’t beat them.

      I read it first - “cover” with a nuclear umbrella. However, it's the same thing. Almost. There are nuances. And, by the way, how many “nuclear umbrellas” are needed for Lithuania so that it does not exist. At all.

      In light of the rapidly developing international situation and in the Ukrainian theater of operations, it makes sense for the “rising star” of Lithuanian diplomacy - the head of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry - Landsbergis, to think about the unenviable future fate of the Chukhonians.... But, after all, the Vilna region will have to be returned to Belarus, and the remnants "blame" the "nations" on the West... It's time to think about the future, and not "puff out our cheeks" in an anti-Russian "frenzy"....

      said the Lithuanian minister.

      Why trifle?
      -the umbrella is not Lithuanian
      -in NATO they are a bird, they don’t recruit soldiers and a battalion (they hope to sit out in the swamps of Livonia due to the low danger)
      I am extremely grateful for a move that deserves more attention - Germany's decision to station a permanent brigade in Lithuania

      - don’t pay him eureka (Lithuania is a depressed subsidized country, with a dying electorate)
      - the Lithuanians did not accept the NATO charter (I doubt that this L-s read it), they themselves “came in large numbers”, how can the article be distributed retroactively, before joining - it’s a great mystery

      Wow, friends and not friends!
      You are all right, but there are nuances:
      1. It seems to me that the tails of the Under-Hegemon begin to throw in turns in the course of the successes of the patriots of the Russian Federation in the Northern Military District! Note that neither the owners nor the small-shaven people allowed themselves such statements a year and a half ago, except for Liza with a red face and a Push button, with which she hoped to enter world history.
      2. Their main theme was the inevitability of victory in 404 with such a volume of arms supplies from the False West.
      3. This is the message and signal of the Russian Federation from Uncle Syoma to find the line before death (vassals), red and purple were already there, tactical missile defense and wondervaffe F-16s are on the way, where does the patience of the Russian leadership end before making decisions that have already been made?

      Russia has already annexed 4 Ukrainian regions and, judging by the statements of some deputies, does not intend to limit itself to this, which only confirms the image of the aggressor. Well, if not today, tomorrow the Russian authorities will declare the territory of the Baltic states to be primordially Russian lands, remembering that such states as Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia did not exist before. Moreover, the Russian people will say their weighty “I approve, sir.” So the concern of the Baltic states and, in particular, the Lithuanian authorities can be understood. They have great doubts that the Russians know when to stop, so it is better to try to stop them on foreign territory, without leading, as Putin says, “to zugunder.”
