Lithuania's president on Monday took a firm stance against Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and the Kremlin's more recent military actions against its neighbors in Eastern Europe. Gitanas Nauseda was in Warsaw addressing a remote session of Poland's and Lithuania's parliaments, marking the 230th anniversary of their joint constitution, Europe's first such written democratic document, the Associated Press reported. "Lithuania will never recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea and will be taking steps toward ending the actual occupation of part of eastern Ukraine," Nauseda said. "Whatever happens, we cannot allow Ukraine to slide back into the past." He also said that Lithuania backs the freedom drive in Belarus and will never allow it to be influenced by Moscow. "There is no room in the Europe of the 21st century for new areas of influence that negate the sovereignty of independent countries," Nauseda said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the presidents of Latvia and Estonia were also among the guests at the ceremonies in Warsaw.

During a later televised debate among the presidents, Poland's Andrzej Duda assured Zelenskyy it was also Warsaw's view that Russia's actions in Ukraine "must not be accepted." Zelenskyy, who is to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week in Kyiv, said that the war against Moscow-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine means that "there is war in Europe." "No one today will give up our sovereignty. We are fighting...because we want to be free," Zelenskyy said. Following one-on-one talks with Duda, Zelenskyy thanked Poland for its strong support for Ukraine's territorial integrity and condemnation of Crimea's annexation. Zelenskyy said he invited Duda to ceremonies in August marking 30 years of Ukraine's independence and to the accompanying meeting of state leaders that is to discuss the "de-occupation of Crimea."

Poland and the Baltic States have been Ukraine's staunchest supporters in the war against Russia's Revanchism.

Good. Crimea belongs to Ukraine, and Russia invaded them in violation of international law.

Texas belong to Mexico, along with California.
 
Once again, I will explain the situation with all this "struggle for justice".
The West with centers of financial capital, without any hints puts the question straight - in modern capitalism (with centers far beyond the borders of the Russian Federation), you either obey as slaves and do as you are ordered, or your life is made almost impossible.
Moreover, I am almost sure that the West in the form of capitulation will agree only with the collapse of the Russian Federation and the transfer of natural resources to the direct ownership of Western TNCs. Considering the trillions of unrealized profits due to the" stubbornness " of the Russians. Considering their wet underwear- they thought the Russians were already dead.

Don't blame the West for Russia's lack of financial expertise.

The only Russian with the requisite financial competence is Elvira Nabiullina, Russia's Central Bank Governor.
 
Remember, as in 1974. did the entire civilized West descend on Turkey after the annexation of Northern Cyprus?
Bombarded with sanctions, recalled diplomats, curtailed economic relations, kicked out of NATO and took military bases from Turkey…

Remember? I don't remember either...

Only for such a review of yours could she be dismissed with disgrace. But she deserves a lot of years in prison without you.

Nope. Both were by treaty.
Crimea by force.

I'm glad you mentioned the treaty. In 1721, Russia signed a treaty with Sweden. Despite the fact that Russia defeated Sweden on land and at sea, Russia paid for the Baltic lands of Sweden a sum of money equivalent to 56 tons of silver. On what basis did the United States have the audacity to claim that the Baltic states have the right to some kind of independence?!
And Crimea was not reunited by force, 98% of the сrimean population voted for reunification with Russia. And only a fool or a scoundrel can deny it

On 8 December 1991, Russian president Boris Yeltsin signed the Belovezha Accords which dissolved the USSR and created the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in its place as a successor entity.

You have a bad habit of forgetting about pesky things such as this.

The UN decreed that the Crimea referendum was illegal and a sham...

27 March 2014
The General Assembly today affirmed its commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, political independence, unity and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, underscoring the invalidity of the 16 March referendum held in autonomous Crimea. By a recorded vote of 100 in favour to 11 against, with 58 abstentions, the Assembly adopted a resolution titled “Territorial integrity of Ukraine”, calling on States, international organizations and specialized agencies not to recognize any change in the status of Crimea or the Black Sea port city of Sevastopol, and to refrain from actions or dealings that might be interpreted as such.

Another item you conveniently ignore.
 
With all due respect, I doubt that Russia is shaking in its boots because of what Lithuania thinks.

In fact, Lithuania is lucky that Russia has not marched into that country.

If we remember that the actions of Yeltsin and the rest of the traitors were illegal, that is, they did not comply with the laws of the USSR, then these agreements, including the independence of all the republics of the USSR, can be overlooked and forgotten if necessary.

Yeltsin was the legal Russian president at the time.

Not surprising that someone with the username "Ringo Stalin" is upset that the USSR dissolved.

And this is relevant to the take over by force in Crimea?

Of course it is relevant. If there were russian troops in the Donbas on the eve of the fascist coup in Kiev in 2014, then like the Crimea, the people of Donbass would not have died for seven years.

No, it is not relevant.

And there was no "fascist coup". That is a Russian invention.

Russian troops are in Donbas now and have been since the revolution.

I understand your ignorance, because all the information you get comes from the garbage pit of the american propaganda machine. In Ukraine, fascists rule and the government is on their side and obeys them. And what do we call those who help the fascists? Fascist collaborators.
I know it's unpleasant to feel like a fascist accomplice, but get used to it - the United States is a fascist accomplice.

Ah, the propaganda claim.....

Tell us how many seats in Parliament are actually fascist/far right.

It is a long standing habit among Russians and their devotees to call any anti Russian sentiment, actions or statements "fascist". Whether or not a single real fascist is involved.

The old and stupid reason: "Show me the members of the Nazi party in the government!" ... Especially stupid after the authorities a few days ago allowed a march in honor of the SS division in the capital ... You don't have to be a member of the KKK to be a racist.
And in general, do not disgrace yourself by supporting the fascists in Ukraine. Only the blind, the fools, and the scoundrels don't see it.

Still no support for your claim.
