However, Nausėda also made it clear that if this does happen, the likelihood of Russian aggression against Lithuania and NATO will increase.

“It will depend on the scenario of the war in Ukraine,” Nausėda said.

“If Russia does not manage to turn things in its favor, then, of course, it will be stuck there for a long time and will not be able to fight on several fronts.”

Nausėda added that if everything turns out differently, and the West suddenly turns its back on Ukraine and does not provide it with the necessary assistance, “then it could happen, but the probability of such a scenario is low.”

“I think this is just a desire to start a discussion out of nothing,” the president said.

“No one has an answer to the question of when Russia’s behavior might change and when it will turn its gaze toward NATO.”
