The Kremlin claims that #Ukraine doesn't exist.
Therefore, fighting for more than 2 years with a 'non-existent' country with no prospects for success says a lot about #Russia 's sense of reality.

A few hours before the official opening ceremony of Eurovision Song Contest in #Malmö , together with the local Lithuanian community, we had our own celebration. The mood was great, but the carpet was different- red and the weather was much better. We wish Silvester Belt the best of luck!

#Georgia 's #EU candidate status was not given as a gift. The government must prove that it has sincerely and consciously chosen the European path. It seems that people of Georgia will not allow Georgia to follow Putin's path.

This Easter in #Ukraine is different. Some still can share Easter cakes with their families, many send to the soldiers at the frontlines. Easter is always renewal, hope and rebirth. Щасливих і світлих свят Великодня, брати українці! #РазомДоПеремоги !

Daudz laimes Latvijas Neatkarības atjaunošanas dienā, brāļi un māsas! Dievs svētī Latviju!

#OTD in 1791 the Commonwealth of #Poland and #Lithuania adopted the first modern Constitution in #Europe and the second in the world. It was like a breath of fresh air, bringing more freedom and equality. It is the contribution of two nations to the European heritage.

It’s still not clear whether the approval of the second reading of the pro-Russian law will turn into the last straw of people's patience. In any way it’s obvious that the Russian world has no chance in #Georgia .

Happy anniversary, #Lithuania ! 20 years in the #EU . Almost 80% of our residents are optimistic about the EU's future. We believe in the EU, believe in freedom and believe that our values must be defended where and when they are challenged. Therefore we need #Ukraine in the EU!

#Tbilisi . #Georgia . This is not just a protest against the pro-Russian 'foreign agents' law. It is the voice of the people and the will to see their country free, independent, European and not a satellite of #Russia .

This is just to recall the ongoing argument by some colleagues that our sanctions pressure on #Russia has already exhausted. ft.com/content/cd6c28…

Now underway in #Stockholm . Royal Guard ceremony at the Royal Palace.

If someone hasn't had a chance to take a photo at the Kerch bridge, it's still time.

When you can't act decisively, cover yourself with the argument that 'unity is key'. Although morally, #Ukraine is already a part of #NATO , legally, since 2008, it hasn’t advanced an inch. If we don’t offer Ukraine a NATO 'road map', the festive NATO summit may turn sour.

After a painful pause, the bag of promises for #Ukraine finally poured out. Billions from #US , long awaited #ATACMS , more #StormShadow , additional #Patriots . Now the most important thing is to ensure that all this continues without stopping until victory.

Lithuania became one of the most favorable countries for defense industry. Those invested €20 mln using 'green corridors' and created at least 20 jobs are exempted from corporate tax for 20 years. Now the plant construction process is 4 times shorter. investlithuania.com/news/lithuania…

It's finally done! #US Congress agreed to allocate 61 bn USD for #Ukraine . Better later than never. By the way, 'never' is not an option for anyone, except terrorist #Russia .

Let's look in the mirror again. We don’t give #Ukraine promised ammunition, long-range weapons, late in providing fighter jets, don’t endorse striking targets in #Russia , don’t provide enough air defense systems at least to protect, and are proud of our tireless support.

New traditions emerging in #Stockholm . First meeting of #NordicBaltic and #Weimar ambassadors. In- depth and thought provoking conversation with ⁦Carl Bildt⁩. Thanks to ⁦Toomas Lukk⁩ for hosting.

After ‘Charlie Hebdo' massacre in Paris, whole world stood in solidarity and said 'je suis Charlie'. Few said 'je suis ukrainien', although Russians were killing about the same number of Ukrainians. Same feeling about double approach is today. That’s why I say- ‘I am Ukrainian!'

A year ago first 'Patriot' missiles have arrived in #Ukraine despite #Russia ’s warnings about ‘consequences’. The only consequence was saved Ukrainian lives. Today, the cost of delays is the same. There is no shortage of patriotism for Ukraine, it needs more 'Patriots'.
