Lithuanian MP: Russia’s policies in Ukraine are in dead-end

The member of parliament said in an interview to the Žinių Radijas radio that the war in Ukraine was not over yet, despite a declared ceasefire last Friday.

“Information is still coming in about ongoing clashes in various places. Ukrainian soldiers died yesterday, which means that the conflict is continuing. However, I think news from Frank-Walter Steinmeier (German Foreign Minister – ELTA) that Russia has committed to withdraw all troops from the territory of Ukraine is a fairly optimistic sign. If it is true, and I think Germany is talking to Russia seriously, then it is a step forward,” said Kirkilas.
