"We must act now to support Ukraine and strengthen Europe's security. Enough talk – it's time to take action," urged the Lithuanian president.
According to him, support for Ukraine should include:
- real security guarantees for Ukraine – NATO membership must remain on the agenda;
- the aggressor state, Russia, must be held accountable for war crimes, and sanctions should remain in place until the war ends;
- urgent funding for arms production and €10 billion for Ukraine's defense industry;
- seizure of frozen Russian assets and the introduction of tariffs on Russian/Belorussian imports;
- accelerated EU accession for Ukraine by 2030.
"Ukraine's security is part of European security. Let's act together," concluded Nauseda.
