A conversation with Prime Minister of Lithuania Ingrida Šimonytė

In this edition of #ACFrontPage, Prime Minister of Lithuania Ingrida Šimonytė joined Dr. Evelyn Farkas from the Arizona University's McCain Institute in a conversation about how Lithuania sees Russia's war in Ukraine and security challenges in the Baltics.

"Russia is not thinking about becoming part of the global geopolitical infrastructure in good faith," Minister Šimonytė stressed. "We've always considered Russia a threat."

The event was organized jointly by the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center, Europe Center, Global China Hub, and Transatlantic Security Initiative.
