This week #Lithuania will mark 20 years as member of the European Union.

Lithuanian 🇪🇺 membership is a success story. Our economy has skyrocketed. We are safer & more prosperous than ever. We are proud Europeans!

#Ukraine & #Moldova deserve this chance too.

20 years ago 🇱🇹&🇵🇱 joined 🇪🇺. It's great to celebrate it with President Andrzej Duda!

We must stay committed to expand the European space of freedom & mobilise all available resources to support 🇺🇦.

No doubt - 🇺🇦 belongs to Europe! Let’s complete it.

Glad to welcome my friend, 🇵🇱 President Andrzej Duda in Lithuania! 
 
Symbolic that our meeting today marks 30 years of 🇱🇹-🇵🇱 friendly relations & good neighbourly cooperation agreement.
 
Appreciate our excellent cooperation & friendship. Kartu mes stiprūs! Razem jesteśmy silni!

The deployment of a permanent German brigade to Lithuania has successfully started.

Great to meet 🇩🇪 advanced element here. 🇱🇹 will provide all necessary support &infrastructure.

The brigade will be combat ready to deter and defend.

Discussed thelatest developments in Georgia with President Salome Zourabichvili.

Expressed my concern regarding the law on “foreign agents” & the effects it might have on 🇬🇪 EU integration process.

Lithuania supports Georgian civil society in their strive for a European future.

Proud of Lithuanian boxer Ana Starovoitova for winning the bronze 🥉at the European Boxing Championship.
She gave up her chance to win gold because she refused to compete against the representative of the aggressor #Russia .
This bronze shines brighter than gold.

The situation on the battlefield in #Ukraine directly depends on Western support.
 
We can't continue doing too little too late &expect great outcomes. Air defense is what Ukraine needs now!
 
Europe is capable of providing it. There's no time to waste. Let's do it!

Wishing a happy #Passover to all Jewish communities around the world.

May every heart be filled with hope and love, may peace come to every Jewish home.

Chag #Pesach Sameach!

Thank you! US House of Representatives approved a long-awaited support package to Ukraine.

It’s a major step towards victory and all allies shall continue to keep supporting 🇺🇦.

Support and cohesion from the West is crucial today.

Met w/ Secretary General of Council of Europe Marija Pejčinović Burić on🇱🇹assuming Presidency of Committee of Ministers.
🇱🇹will use every opportunity to support🇺🇦within the Council&beyond it.
We will continue to protect democratic values&ensure implementation of Reykjavik Summit decisions.

A month ago, Navalny aide Leonid Volkov was brutally attacked in Vilnius.

Today, I am glad to announce that suspects have been detained in Poland.

Thank you to Andrzej Duda, 🇵🇱 and 🇱🇹law enforcement. Together we warn the organizers of the crime: do not try to repeat it!

As the U.S. Congress returns to vote on a crucial support package to #Ukraine , I want to reiterate the importance of joint transatlantic efforts to help 🇺🇦win.
As Speaker Mike Johnson has rightly said, history judges us for what we do. It's the moment for 🇺🇸 to do the right thing now.

The example of allied actions to defend #Israel must lead to boosted air defense for #Ukraine .

🇺🇦 cities are getting attacked on a daily basis while their skies remain unprotected.

European air defense coalition for Ukraine might be a game changer.

We must continue strengthening #EU sanctions policy against Russia& take measures against sanctions evasion.

There is no way Russian agriculture and other products can continue flowing into Europe thus feeding Russian war budget.

At #EUCO doorstep I emphasized that we must not lose our focus on Ukraine.

🇺🇦 needs military support now - air defense systems, artillery shells, missiles, ammunition.

I called on 🇪🇺 leaders to implement our own decisions on defense support to 🇺🇦. Let's speed up our efforts!

On my way to #EUCO in Brussels. Support to #Ukraine and sanctions on #Iran will be in our focus today.

I also look forward to discussing measures against sanctions evasion. We must stop the influx of Russia's LNG and grain to Europe.

Strongly condemn Iran's overnight attacks against Israel. They are unacceptable and unjustificiable.

There is no need for escalation in the Middle East!
