00:00What we have to keep in mind is that why countries want to be in NATO is because they don't want
00:14Russia to invade them, to attack them. And that's why Sweden and Finland joined NATO. That's why
00:22the Baltic States joined NATO to have this defense umbrella ring.
00:34We have to understand that Donbass is not Putin's endgame. If it gets Donbass, then the fortress
00:41is down and then they definitely move on with taking the whole of Ukraine. And if Ukraine
00:49goes, then other regions are also in danger. We know this from the history and we should
00:57learn from history.
00:58Yes, like I said, this is really a very important week for financing questions. We have different
01:15options on the table and they will be discussed in the leaders' meeting on Thursday. What
01:23President Kostas said, we will not leave the meeting before we get the result, before we
01:30get the decision on the funding for Ukraine. The most credible option is the reparations loan,
01:37that this is what we are working on. We are not there yet, and it is increasingly difficult,
01:42but we're doing the work. We still have some days.
01:47This FAC meeting is really important for Lithuania. We expect that colleagues ministers will agree
02:06and the Council will pass the additional criteria for the Belarusian sanctions regime. We are adding
02:15three points additionally to the current sanctions regime related to the hybrid activities against
02:21the European Union.
02:23I am really looking forward to expanding the sanctions regime on Belarus if those hybrid activities continue
02:36against us. So politically united and also fast in the decisions, this is the recipe for the future
02:44and prevention for the future and prevention from the activities against the EU as we were suffering
02:49already. Only when we are united, dictators step back.
