"I certainly do not suggest taking any political assessment at this time. I am more focused on whether this is a significant aspect that could have a significant impact on consumers – both in the US and globally. It is clear that the volumes currently being discussed are not significant enough to have a meaningful impact on the final price." After US President Donald Trump agreed with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the renewal of Russian diesel supplies, Energy Minister Lukas Savickas stated that the European Union (EU) maintains its principled position. #energetika #kuras #EuroposSąjunga (translated)

Russia is bombing Ukrainian ports and obstructing Ukrainian grains from reaching the global market, but at the same time wants to profit by transporting its grains through the European Union. Our infrastructure should not help Russia finance the war. We must increase pressure on the aggressor and help Ukraine deliver its goods to the global market," K. Michalas said in a statement. #BaltijosŠalys #RusijosGrūdai #EuroposSąjunga (translated)
The leaders of the Baltic states appealed to the European Commission, urging to ban the transit of Russian grain through the EU to help Ukraine and not to encourage Russia to finance military actions. #BaltijosŠalys #RusijosGrūdai #EuroposSąjunga (translated)

Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius states that, with Russia attacking Ukraine's ports and thereby aiming to disrupt this country's grain exports, it is unacceptable that at the same time this country is using the ports and infrastructure of the Baltic states to export its own as well as stolen grains from occupied Ukrainian territories. #RusiškųGrūdųTranzitas #EuroposSąjunga #KarasUkrainoje (translated)
"I positively evaluate the Prime Minister's initiative to raise this issue at the European Union level. The decisions made in Latvia and Estonia have not yet created a uniformly functioning mechanism, so a common European solution would ensure equal rules for all countries," assured K.

"Since Russia only understands the language of the stronger, we continue our support for Ukraine together with Lithuania, which, by the way, is one of Kyiv's largest supporters considering its population (...). We will continue to work with Lithuania and our partners. I repeat every time that our support is not aimed at prolonging the war. We just have to encourage Moscow to start negotiations." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, for his part, stated that one of the main tasks for Europe at the moment is to deter Russia. #Lietuva #Vokietija #EuroposSąjunga (translated)
"Today, I take away from our conversation a very clear feeling that Lithuania and Germany are looking in the same direction. We want a strong Europe, we want a strong NATO, and we want Ukraine to win peace based on its sovereignty and territorial integrity. And we want our people to feel safe in their homes."

The Lithuanian prime minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius visiting Berlin emphasized that a strong Germany is needed for Lithuania and Europe, and assured Berlin that Vilnius is a reliable partner. #Lietuva #Vokietija #EuroposSąjunga (translated)
