@sailamsterdam ⛵️ | Legendary kurėnas at Sail Amsterdam 2025. Yet another way to strengthen Lithuanian - Dutch ties

Another terrible night in Kyiv. russia continues to mock the civilized world. The only way to stop it is through force—economic and military. By proving that words are followed by decisive actions. By destroying russia’s sense of impunity. Not a single day can be wasted.

On July 31, 1991, Soviet OMON forces brutally attacked the Medininkai border post, executing seven Lithuanian officers. Today, we honour their memory. They died defending #Lithuania’s independence. The Soviet regime launched a campaign of terror on Lithuania refusing to recognise our independence. In 1991 alone, Soviet units attacked Lithuanian border posts 18 times - burning facilities, destroying documents, tearing down the Lithuanian flag& injuring dozens of officers. But Lithuanians stood firm. Our officers continued to serve, guarding a border that stood as a symbol of our freedom and sovereignty. Today, I reaffirm this message: we will always defend our country and our freedom by all means. We will never allow Russian terror to take hold in Lithuania again.

#Breaking Trump expresses dissatisfaction with Putin and outlines a new policy direction: ▪️If no agreement is reached within 50 days, the U.S. will impose 100% secondary tariffs on Russia. Though details remain vague, these could target not only Russia but also its trade partners—potentially China, India, and Turkey. The idea mirrors a Senate sanctions package designed to deter major buyers of Russian commodities. ▪️The U.S. will sell weapons to NATO allies, who will then deliver them to Ukraine. This would allow for rapid, large-scale arms transfers—without U.S. direct funding. A strategic shift with global implications.
