With Their Majesties the King and the Queen of the Belgians visited Kaunas - European Capital of Culture 2022.

Kaunas is home to a museum of the Lithuanian genius M.K Čiurlionis and a city of unique art deco architecture. Glad to further explore shared 🇱🇹 & 🇧🇪 cultural links.

Belgium and Lithuania are trusted allies.

When 🇱🇹 joined #NATO , 🇧🇪 was the first country to send an air policing mission team. Since 2017 🇧🇪 is actively engaged in NATO eFP Battlegroup Lithuania in 🇱🇹.

Appreciate Belgian commitment to collective defense under His Majesty the King's leadership.

Congratulations to Giorgia Meloni on taking the helm as the new Prime Minister of #Italy .

I look forward to working together within #NATO and the #EU . 🇱🇹 & 🇮🇹 partnership is crucial in our quest for peace, security, and prosperity!

When we say we stand with Ukraine, we mean it.

🇪🇺 commitment to support 🇺🇦 remains strong. The recently approved €500 million military support package is proof of that.

Now, let's deliver air defense systems to 🇺🇦 to defend its citizens.

European unity must stay rock solid.

Glad to say that we reached agreement on energy at #EUCO .
We agreed and tasked European Commission 🇪🇺 and Energy Ministers to prepare urgent decisions for:
- gas price cap, including electricity generation
- joint future gas purchases
- new EU gas price benchmark.
Our unity is crucial.

Russia must be held accountable for horrific war crimes committed in Ukraine 🇺🇦.

I call for the establishment of Special Tribunal to investigate Russian crimes of aggression.

We are in the midst of an energy crisis.

Brave& forward-looking decisions needed at 🇪🇺 level. I suggest:
- EU cap on gas price
- Decoupling gas& electricity prices
- Establishing 🇪🇺 financial support mechanism

Easing financial burden of our citizens& businesses is a priority.

Russia's actions in Ukraine are state sponsored terrorism.

It can be ended by 🇺🇦 winning.

We can achieve it by giving air defense systems to 🇺🇦 right now and sanctioning Russia until all resources to finance the war are cut off. #EUCO

Sincere congratulations to Ulf Kristersson on being appointed as the new Prime Minister of #Sweden .
 
Appreciate close 🇱🇹-🇸🇪 cooperation in the Nordic-Baltic family, as #EU partners & soon allies at #NATO .
 
Looking forward to working together!

Constructive call w/Jens Stoltenberg today.

Emphasized that in light of recent Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, our military support must be scaled up.

Air defense systems to 🇺🇦 are crucial.

Important to efficiently implement decisions taken in Madrid.

Touched base with my friend Andrzej Duda 🇵🇱.

Congratulations to 🇵🇱 on strengthening its air defense with WISŁA today!

Our coordinated approach & gradual increase of defense spending is a significant factor in regional security.

We stand united in our support to Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Today, on 🇺🇦 Defenders Day,I spoke to Володимир Зеленський. While Russia keeps escalating, Ukraine keeps pushing the aggressor's military back.🇱🇹 will continue supporting 🇺🇦 on all fronts&advocating for more support from the West.More air defense systems to🇺🇦 now to protect its citizens!

Поспілкувався з Володимир Зеленський. В той час як ескалація з боку Росії триває, 🇺🇦 продовжує відтісняти війська агресора. 🇱🇹 продовжуватиме підтримувати 🇺🇦 на всіх фронтах& виступати за більшу підтримку з боку Заходу.Більше систем протиповітряної оборони для 🇺🇦 для захисту її громадян!
