Threatening the NATO member country, Russia checks how the West will respond to this. This was said by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielus Landsbergis in an interview with TSN.
“over the past few weeks, several Russian politicians said very clearly that they are not afraid to threaten NATO member country. Today it is Lithuania. Before that, because of the support of Ukraine, they threatened Poland. Estonia received as I call them Passive threats are literally today. Therefore, they check how the West can respond, how can we respond. Again, can the Russian Federation wage war against NATO? I don’t think so. Can it test NATO? Yes, of course, maybe he can test NATO. I would even go further and said that he could not only protest, but also break NATO, ”the minister said.
Lithuania believes that the Russian Federation will not dare to attack them if the actions of NATO are clear and fast.
“If NATO cannot find a fairly quick and powerful answer to show that there are very clear and specific lines that he cannot cross. And in this we must be very clear. And this is what is happening now. This is a reality, ”said Landsbergis.
