According to Rasa Jakilaitienė, representative of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, this is a coordinated action by the three Baltic countries.

Deputy Foreign Minister Dalius Čekuolis noted that the attempt to rehabilitate the two dictators was repeatedly condemned not only by the international community, but also by Russia itself.

He also expressed the hope that the Duma has enough wisdom to reject a project that brings today’s Russia to a totalitarian past.

An initiative registered in the Russian Parliament to reverse the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact sentence, adopted three decades ago.
