16 years ago Russia invaded Georgia and got away with it. Impunity and appeasement only led to 🇷🇺 imperialist aggression growing more brutal.
🇱🇹 support for Georgia's territorial integrity & sovereignty is unwavering – so is our support to the 🇬🇪 people who have chosen European and Euro-Atlantic future for their country. Russia is an aggressor, not a role model.
FM @GLandsbergis: CN-RU "no limits partnership” has been testing the limits of our resolve. @NATO summit, we are loud and clear that we will not falter: CN must cease all material and political support to RU‘s war effort.

How do we manage Russia's escalation? We have a country that's willing to manage it for us. They are in Washington today asking to be allowed to strike deeper into Russian territory. And we are saying no, not now instead we should be saying thank you. #NATOSummit
NATO is stronger and safer when it stands with like-minded partners.
We are deepening our ties with 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🇳🇿 🇰🇷 to stand up to authoritarianism and the growing alignment of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea

At the #WashingtonSummit, I stressed that Europe is at war and Russia is preparing for a confrontation with #NATO.
It leads us to one conclusion - we must boost our defenses, strengthen our preparedness& deterrence.
The implementation of our decisions is crucial.
At the #NATO summit, I told the Allies that #Ukraine must remain in our focus as top priority.
Only Ukraine’s victory can bring Europe back to peace and stability.
I strongly support the military& financial support package for 🇺🇦& call for sustainable long-term support.
#NATO’s new missile defence base in Poland now mission ready for the defence of the Alliance.

Let's carve it in stone - #Ukraine’s path to #NATO membership is irreversible.
Ukraine’s future is in the NATO family& we must continue taking steps towards further integration.
Let's make sure Russia understands the irreversibility of our words.
