"I think we should ask Mr Zelenskyy to target more data centres in Russia, and that might help," he said, responding to a question about what Lithuania, Poland and other allies should do to protect elections in their countries from interference.
According to the Lithuanian Prime Minister, no one will offer Europeans a seat at the decision-making table simply out of politeness.
"To have a seat at this table, Europe must summon greater strength, energy and unity. Political commitments must be put into practice more swiftly, and investment in defence must be translated into new defence capabilities," he explained.
