“We cannot close our eyes to the unfulfilled commitments of Russia and the continuous murder of the Ukrainian people. We do not see the will of Russia to end the war in Donbas, therefore, if the situation at the international level does not change, we will invite democracies to strengthen sanctions against Russia, “said G. Nausėda during a press conference on Thursday.
Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in February-March 2014, when Pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was overthrown in Kiev.
