Dalia Grybauskaite: We are witnessing open aggression and huge lie

There is evidence confirming that Russia is taking direct part in the ongoing military operation in eastern Ukraine.

This statement has been made by Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite during the World Economic Forum in Davos, DELFI.lt informs.

"It’s an open territorial aggression being carried out not by some terrorists-separatists, but by Russia itself, as neither separatists, nor any other people can have such weaponry. You cannot buy it at a town market or on the street. It’s very specific and can be supplied by a major country only,” she stressed. “And there is direct evidence that not only Russian weapons are being used, but also the Russian army, its units are taking part.”

As said by her, Russia’s representatives are openly lying about the situation in Ukraine, the Lithuanian president said.

“We hear a lot of lies when they say one thing and do the opposite. When one side is being blamed and in fact the other one is not meeting its commitments,” the Lithuanian President said.

Grybauskaite also noted that she discussed with Petro Poroshenko the existing situation in the country as well as preparations for the upcoming Eastern Partnership summit in Latvia in May.

Recently Grybauskaite charged the Russian gas concern Gazprom of exerting political pressure.
