Analysis: As NATO member states gather to affirm Sweden’s accession and discuss Ukraine’s way forward, the small host country may have a big role with bigger expectations.
, a mark that far surpasses the majority of NATO nations, which have struggled to even reach the alliance’s mandated 2 percent threshold., eight foreign ministers of Baltic and Nordic states, including Lithuania’s Gabrielius Landsbergis, called for Ukraine’s long-term integration into Europe, both through NATO and the European Union, as well as major commitments to help Kyiv win the war now.
“After the Crimea occupation, the reaction from the West was very slow, despite Russia demonstrating openly in broad daylight that it could occupy the territories of neighboring countries,”, warning that the summit this week may still showcase divisions over how to reckon with Russia. Landsbergis and his colleagues are among the most outspoken backers of Taiwan and European critics of China. In 2021, tiny Lithuania found itself locked in a geopolitical standoff with Beijing over its decision to allow Taiwan to open a representative office in Vilnius under the name of “Taiwan.”
