If Russia fails to lose, then it’s a worrying scenario for. Such a statement Lithuanian Foreign Minister made in the interview to the Foreign Policy.

“Ukraine is a litmus paper. If with Western assistance Ukraine wins the war, if the commitment that we spoke about at the beginning of our conversation is given and allows Ukraine to win, and Russia to lose, then I think that this new system … Ukraine will be part of it, it’s inevitable. It might be part of NATO, it might not be a part of NATO in the short term, but it will be part of the European security system after the war. That would give a lot of confidence to everybody that we have a new system, and it’s working. If Russia fails to lose, then it’s a worrying scenario for everybody. The most interesting thing - I’ve just returned from Japan—and many conversations that I had there were about the security architecture, because it’s universal.

If we allow a country like Ukraine to lose its territories - we built the system around this principle of territorial integrity - then everybody is in danger, and no country will be big enough to be completely safe“, - said Gabrielius Landsbergis.
