"How Russia’s war against Ukraine has changed Europe": Lithuania discusses how to help Ukraine in war against Russia
The Kaunas Vytautas the Great War Museum hosted a discussion on "How Russia's war against Ukraine has changed Europe". The main purpose of the event is to discuss the third anniversary of Russia's war against Ukraine and what contribution it has made to Lithuanian society, and what else Lithuania can do to continue to support Ukraine.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Guildhall.
The event was organized and moderated by Petras Auštrevičius, Member of the European Parliament from Lithuania (Renew Europe), member of the Committee on Security and Defense. The discussion was attended by the leaders of the All-Ukrainian Association "Cadet Commonwealth", volunteers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other representatives of Lithuania and Ukraine.
"We organized the debate to discuss the third anniversary of the war against Ukraine, whose aggressor, as we know, is the Russian Federation. What contribution it has made to Lithuanian society, what can Lithuanian society do to continue to support Ukraine. And I think it's a very good initiative to show, just to remind us that there are real things happening here - a real war with real consequences. It's a good idea to understand this whole period, because a lot is happening right now next to us. And we have to understand it, absorb it and just be able to unite. This event is about what happened three years ago. In February, the whole of Europe and the whole world were shocked to see that the world was not the same as it used to be. The order is collapsing, and Europe is no longer safe," Mr. Austrevicius said.
"The question of whether we are tired of supporting Ukraine is understandable, but it is getting a bit tiresome. The situation is quite dangerous now, and we need to get ready. Today we have the luxury of Ukraine continuing to fight instead of us. Lithuania really stands out among the supporters of Ukraine, and we are demonstrating our goodwill. I look with concern at the lessons we have not learned. We see the current importance of drones in the war, but we are surprisingly slow to realize their importance. I would like to see the lessons learned," summarized Yonah Ohman, Chairman of Blue/Yellow.
