Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Landsbergis: Russia’s missile attacks, weapons, and troops at the Zaporizhzhia station pose a severe threat to Ukraine and the continent as a whole and should be strictly assessed by the international community
On 8 December, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis met with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi.
“We talked with the IAEA Director General that Russian missile attacks, weapons, and soldiers at the largest European nuclear site in Zaporizhzhia posed a serious threat to Ukraine and the entire continent,” Landsbergis said after the meeting with Grossi.
“The Belarusian nuclear power plant is Russia’s geopolitical project, which poses a physical threat and a hybrid threat to the whole region,” Lithuania’s Foreign Minister said.
Landsbergis also stressed that supplying Russia with arms in the context of its war against Ukraine and ongoing nuclear treaty violations should be strictly assessed by the international community.
In addition, Lithuania’s Foreign Minister spoke today at the Permanent Council of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) on Russia’s ongoing military aggression against Ukraine.
“We must decide whether the Helsinki Final Act principles are guidelines or rules. If we have committed to a set of rules, there should be no more ambiguity when these principles are violated. Either we stand by those principles, or we don’t,” Landsbergis said, referring to the responsibility of international organisations and the need to review Europe’s security architecture.
