The President expressed Lithuania’s support for the OSCE Secretary General’s efforts to resume and intensify the OSCE activities in Ukraine, stressing that the future of the OSCE will directly depend on the role it plays in helping to bring an end the war waged by the Russian Federation.
“We hope that OSCE, as an international organization with the mission of strengthening security and reducing military confrontation, will not allow aggressors, who are destroying the security architecture of Europe and the entire world, to dictate the rules of the game,” the President said.
Gitanas Nausėda pointed out that Lithuania appreciated the independent expert report initiated under the OSCE Moscow Mechanism on violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine since 24 February 2022, and supported efforts to further investigate Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine.
