NATO member Lithuania Defies Russian Nuclear Threats, Commits Troops to Ukraine Training Mission
In defiance of Russia's nuclear threats, Lithuania remains steadfast in its commitment to dispatch soldiers for a training mission in Ukraine, as stated by Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte in an interview with the Financial Times published on Wednesday.
Simonyte's remarks come in the wake of the Russian Defense Ministry's declaration of preparations for tactical nuclear weapons exercises, citing Western "threats and provocations." Addressing concerns over potential Russian reactions, Simonyte emphasised that succumbing to such fears would paralyse action, highlighting the recurring spectre of nuclear threats.
She reiterated Lithuania's resolve to support Ukraine with troops despite the risks.
Lithuanian Defense Minister Kasciunas reports multiple Lithuanian citizens fighting for Russia in Ukraine, calling it a crime against the state. This follows a video of a Lithuanian man in a Russian uniform. Lithuania has pursued strong anti-Russia policies, including aid to Ukraine and citizenship revocations. While some Lithuanians support Russia, others fight for Ukraine.
