“From my perspective, it does look like war,” the Lithuanian politician mentioned in an interview earlier in December, a few days earlier than he left his put up as international minister.

“Russians are… very good at sensing weakness or geopolitical vacuums. So, if there is no pushback, they will just creep on and continue with their activity.”
