Respect to UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer for ordering the seizure of a Russian shadow‑fleet tanker in the English Channel.
Well done, @RoyalMarines, for successfully carrying out the operation today!
Another important step in cutting off funding for Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Russia’s baseless threats against #Latvia and the Baltic States at the UN are completely unacceptable.
The UK stands firmly with our Baltic Allies and in defence of European security - a threat to one @NATO Ally is a threat to us all.
I thank NATO and EU allies for strong support and solidarity today.
It is clear: the security of the Baltic States is the security of Europe as a whole. Lithuania remains strong, determined, and committed to defending our freedom.
⚠️IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ⚠️ We understand that many people may have felt worried or anxious today after the alerts were sent by the 🇱🇹 state about the air incursion. Together w/ the 🇱🇹 State institutions, we encourage everyone to remain calm & follow the orders. More 👇

Finally, the answer has been found 🤯
The Lithuanian 🇱🇹 language did indeed come from outer space, and the first people on Earth learned it from aliens.
And those endings and pronunciation? 😱 Yeah, they are more complicated than rocket science.

Thirty-six years ago, on March 11, 1990, Lithuania became the first country to break away from the USSR and returned to the family of European nations. Today, we are proud members of the EU and NATO!

“If he had to choose a favourite Lithuanian 🇱🇹word, he says it would be laisvė (‘freedom’), not only because of how it sounds but because of its meaning.”

Later this week, Keir Starmer will lead our delegation to the Munich Security Conference. At this crucial time for the world, we need his leadership not just at home but on the global stage, and we need to keep our focus where it matters, on keeping our country safe.
