Gitanas<\/strong>, Mr. President!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to be here in Vilnius today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear friends, partners!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all want the same thing \u2013 to stop the Russian war, to bring real peace, and to make security last. That\u2019s what we\u2019re all working for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I informed our partners about the situation at the front. We also talked about our operation inside Russia, which has seriously weakened their military. Operation \u201cSpiderweb\u201d showed what modern war really looks like and why it\u2019s so important to stay ahead with technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All our joint investments in drone production, all our shared battlefield experience, everything we\u2019re doing together with our partners \u2013 it\u2019s making Europe stronger. Today, we agreed with our partners on several joint decisions that will strengthen our defense even more. I thank everyone for your willingness to help. There will be new packages. There will be new investments in Ukraine\u2019s weapons production \u2013 especially drones. Ukraine can produce much more, and we see partner investments as a way to give those partners priority access to restock their arsenals after this war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, I thank you all for our shared view of what diplomacy needs in order to succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we see the situation clearly \u2013 if Russia turns the Istanbul meeting into an empty talk, there must be a new level of pressure \u2013 new sanctions, and not just from Europe. We need to work on joint sanctions at the G7 level \u2013 including with the United States \u2013 and with everyone in the world who wants peace. It\u2019s very important that each of our partners supports this exact approach. Sanctions against Russia are necessary. It\u2019s important to seriously limit Russia\u2019s oil trade and its use of tankers. Sanctions, including secondary ones, tariffs, and price caps, can work and push Russia toward peace. Without pressure, Putin will just keep playing games with everyone who wants this war to end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talks in Istanbul just ended, and I\u2019m waiting for Minister Umerov’s full report. They exchanged documents through the Turkish side, and we\u2019re preparing a new release of prisoners of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third \u2013 the upcoming NATO Summit can strengthen Europe\u2019s security, or, if it sends the wrong signal, it will only encourage Putin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to lasting peace is clear \u2013 the aggressor must not receive any reward for war. Putin must get nothing that would justify his aggression. Any reward would only show him that war pays off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geopolitical gains are just as important to Russia as money or territory. If Putin is allowed to decide who joins NATO, where NATO infrastructure can or can\u2019t be, then Russia\u2019s appetite for war will only grow. Our shared goal is the opposite \u2013 to completely end Russia\u2019s hunger for aggression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine is doing its part. I\u2019m grateful to all partners who are doing theirs. And we must act as one united Euro-Atlantic community. The NATO Summit in June is the right place and the right time to send a clear message \u2013 Russia will not get anything from this war. Strong decisions are needed. Decisions for Europe, not for Putin. We all need to work together to make this really happen. And it\u2019s doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to everyone who helps us. Thank you so much!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
