Fighting for freedom

Freedom runs in my family, and in the families of my fellow Lithuanians. We have been freedom fighting for generations, and not about to stop any time soon. Tragically, it looks like we are now in another period of existential struggle, together with the entire democratic world.

In my time as Foreign Affairs Minister, I made sure that Lithuania became known globally as a standard-bearer in the fight for freedom and rule of law, providing huge support to Ukraine and expanding connections in the Indo-Pacific, among many other initiatives in support of democracy wherever it was under threat.

My values-based approach to foreign policy was never the easiest way, sometimes it was impossible. But it was not naïve. We see clearly today, that the survival of our freedoms relies on strong defence of our values and our borders, by means of war if necessary, never choosing dishonour, always aiming for victory, handing down a free world to our children, whatever it takes.

Evil never rests, so I'm not resting either. Subscribe and join me in the fight.

My diary coming soon

I kept a diary throughout the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, while serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania, and the manuscript is currently being edited for publication. You can find out what was going on behind the headlines, and what I couldn't say on camera. To be informed of the release date, subscribe to my free newsletter.
