The Prime Minister of Lithuania, Ingrid Šimonite, said that her country is ready to send troops to Ukraine with a training mission, but Kyiv has not yet made such a request.
About this Shimonite reported in a conversation with the Financial Times.
According to her, she has a parliamentary mandate to send troops to Ukraine for training purposes. At the same time, the Prime Minister of Lithuania admitted that such a decision could be perceived by Russia as a provocation.
“If we only thought about how Russia would take it, we wouldn’t be able to send anything to her. Every two weeks you hear that someone is about to be nuked“, she added.
Shimonite also expressed doubt that Russia would decide to use nuclear weapons, because radioactive fallout would also affect the territory of the Russian Federation.
