"The Russians will only pretend to be negotiating. I don't trust them," he said.
"Putin will, from the very beginning, make demands that are unacceptable to Ukraine," Nauseda added.
"If Ukraine survives this winter—and I am convinced it will—the prospects for serious negotiations in 2027 will improve. I don't expect them to happen any sooner," the Lithuanian leader added.
Russia's Attack on NATO
"I don't think Russia is currently ready for large-scale military operations. Its resources are tied up on the Ukrainian battlefield, and Russia is not succeeding there.
"But Putin is testing us and is getting closer and closer to triggering NATO's Article 5 on collective defense," Nauseda believes.
