Lithuania understands necessity of US air strikes in Syria – ForMin

“We understand the necessity of the US actions and trust the information provided to us by the Allies,” the minister told BNS.

In his words, the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad accused by the Western world of holding the deadly chemical attack in guerrilla-controlled territories has crossed all possible limits.

“Persuasion has certain limits, therefore, the actions are fully comprehensible. In this case, this was a targeted attack on the base from where the crime was launched,” said Linkevičius.
