Lithuanian PM advises Zelensky on rhetoric

Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė has advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to avoid what she called 'intimidating rhetoric' regarding alleged Russian plans to attack the Baltic states. According to Ruginienė, there are no preconditions for such statements, suggesting Zelensky's warnings are unsubstantiated. The public advice highlights a divergence in diplomatic messaging between Kyiv and a key European ally.
