Lithuanian FM to ‘Post’: We want Israel to give Ukraine defensive weapons
Western allies, such as Lithuania, do not believe Israel can remain on the fence when it comes to the Russia-Ukraine war.

Israel should help secure the future of Eastern Europe by giving Ukraine defensive weapons to help it withstand the Russian invasion of its country, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

“We consider the war against Ukraine our main strategic security issue. That means that assisting Ukraine to win this war is what we consider the main benefit to our security,” he said as he sat in a conference room at Jerusalem’s Waldorf Astoria and reflected on the danger Russia posed to his region.

He raised the issue during his meetings with Israeli officials, including his counterpart Eli Cohen, who visited Kyiv last month. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Cohen have strengthened Israel’s support of Ukraine, under pressure from the United States and Western allies, including countries like Lithuania.
