Kyiv, June 18, 2014.<\/i><\/b> \u201cWe are going to make Brussels well aware of our vision of what we have found out and seen in Ukraine. These days our colleagues in Brussels are fond of the phrase \u201ca conflict in Ukraine\u201d. But there is no conflict in Ukraine. There is aggression that Russia is conducting against Ukraine. We are going to do what it takes to convey and reinforce this message,\u201d stated Audronius A\u017eubalis, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania (2010 \u2013 2012), Member of the Lithuanian Seimas, at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n

There are several aspects of Russia\u2019s aggressive behavior towards Ukraine.\u201d This new kind of war we are witnessing today is not only military attacks with weapons and mortars, it\u2019s also an informational act of\u00a0aggression. I can define the latest Russian politicians\u2019 statements as a new level of it,\u201d stressed Andrius Kubilius, former Prime Minister of Lithuania (2008-2012), Member of the Lithuanian Seimas, leader of the conservative political party Homeland Union \u2013 Lithuanian Christian Democrats.<\/p>\n

In the context of the current Russian military invasion into Ukraine, both Lithuanian politicians are convinced that European Union should immediately and openly declare for the prospect of the EU\u00a0membership for Ukraine. Mr. Kubilius said that one of the goals of the “Eastern Partnership\u201d program they have created is to facilitate the entry of Ukraine into EU. “We are now the voice of Ukraine in the European structures. Europe must say very clearly that Ukraine can become a member of the European Union. And we will do our best to foster it, \u00bb said the former Prime Minister of Lithuania.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kubilius also stated that not only Ukraine, but also other countries, including the European Union, should well analyze Russia’s aggressive actions and make the conclusions. “Firstly, Europe should declare Ukraine’s European prospects. Secondly, Europe should pursue its own energy independence. And thirdly, Europe should provide informational defense against such attacks.”<\/p>\n
