[00:00:18] in the topic of the day. Good evening, Mr. President. Hello. The
[00:00:21] Minister of Foreign Affairs regrets
[00:00:24] Donald Trump's agreement with Vladimir Putin and says that it
[00:00:28] weakens the West. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius
[00:00:31] is less diplomatic and says that it is a shameful and
[00:00:35] dishonorable decision. What is your
[00:00:38] position, does Lithuania consider this agreement harmful to
[00:00:41] Western efforts to stop Russian
[00:00:45] aggression, and are you, as the leader of our country,
[00:00:49] prepared to say that to ally Donald
[00:00:52] Trump? Friends should speak openly
[00:00:56] and if decisions
[00:00:58] are good, we will never forget to thank and
[00:01:02] say that those decisions are good, but this decision
[00:01:05] is definitely not on their list, so
[00:01:08] my reaction is unequivocal, this is a bad
[00:01:11] day, especially considering
[00:01:14] the entire context of Russian aggression against Ukraine,
[00:01:18] and this decision can only be viewed through
[00:01:22] the prism of elections, because it cannot have a real impact on diesel
[00:01:25] prices in the United States
[00:01:29] for many reasons, primarily because
[00:01:32] fuel prices are primarily determined by crude oil
[00:01:36] prices, and crude oil, as you know, is expensive because there are
[00:01:39] tensions in Hormuz,
[00:01:42] because Russia cannot significantly increase its
[00:01:46] diesel supply, because it desperately needs fuel for its domestic
[00:01:50] market, including for its army, because
[00:01:53] Ukraine has quite successfully destroyed almost
[00:01:56] 50% of its oil
[00:02:01] refining capacities,
[00:02:04] and sometimes, well, you think
[00:02:07] that one thing should be
[00:02:10] clear: in a geopolitical conflict,
[00:02:13] economic arguments should not take precedence,
[00:02:17] even though I was an economist once, but I say that
[00:02:21] economic arguments should not outweigh geopolitics, because
[00:02:24] in this case, we are dealing with an aggressor who
[00:02:27] completely ignores economic arguments.
[00:02:30] He can sacrifice everything on
[00:02:34] the altar of this war, and he is
[00:02:37] prepared to do so, therefore, we must
[00:02:41] first support Ukraine itself, and
[00:02:44] this last decision certainly does not make Ukraine
[00:02:48] stronger, Europe must make twice
[00:02:51] as much effort for Ukraine to hold
[00:02:54] on in this fight, and what is also
[00:02:58] difficult about this latest
[00:03:01] decision, as I said, it does not have a very
[00:03:04] clear economic and positive impact, although
[00:03:08] perhaps an attempt is being made to present the situation differently, but
[00:03:11] it opens the floodgates for Russia's
[00:03:14] isolation to decrease. We
[00:03:18] see such efforts,
[00:03:21] Ukrainian infrastructure, well, dozens, hundreds in the world of sports, in the world of culture, to try
[00:03:24] to break through those paths to the international market and
[00:03:28] portray that nothing special is happening here, we are just continuing
[00:03:31] our military operation, but
[00:03:34] we cannot allow this, and in the context of the Ukrainian
[00:03:38] war, we must increase Russia's isolation, that
[00:03:41] is why I hope that this week at the European Council
[00:03:45] we will have a very serious discussion about what Europe
[00:03:48] must do in this unenviable
[00:03:52] situation, and that
[00:03:55] Europe must also do its homework, so that
[00:03:58] there are no grounds for, they are trying, by the way, with
[00:04:02] a certain pretext to say, look, you yourselves
[00:04:05] are not entirely honest, because you continue to buy Russian
[00:04:09] liquefied natural gas, natural gas, and you buy Russian
[00:04:12] oil. Lithuania already in 2022
[00:04:16] managed to say, that's it, no more energy resources from
[00:04:19] Russia. Meanwhile, Europe, which probably had
[00:04:23] more time to prepare, I'm not talking about all of Europe, but I'm talking about specific
[00:04:26] European Union countries that are doing all this and,
[00:04:30] to this day, unfortunately, even in smaller quantities, but
[00:04:34] they are helping Russia to finance its war machine by buying
[00:04:37] energy resources, so we have such a sad situation,
[00:04:41] I am not going to try to wrap in a nicer
[00:04:45] paper what we are now in. Mr.
[00:04:48] President, in addition to this agreement, as announced by
[00:04:52] President Trump, he also stated that Ukraine
[00:04:55] should choose another president, so how much
[00:04:59] is that an interference from your perspective
[00:05:01] in Ukraine's internal affairs,
[00:05:04] which is, well, defending itself from Russian aggression at the moment, and
[00:05:08] that kind of statement is especially favorable, it is simply
[00:05:12] Putin's repeated words, and does Lithuania
[00:05:16] and again, do you have a concrete and
[00:05:20] clear position on this matter? Ukraine has
[00:05:23] the right to have such leaders as it
[00:05:26] elected. Ukraine already
[00:05:29] in 2019 elected Volodymyr Zelensky as its president,
[00:05:32] who proved to be worthy of all this respect
[00:05:36] and all
[00:05:39] the admiration for his person during these extremely difficult
[00:05:42] years, always standing firmly in defense of Ukraine's freedom,
[00:05:46] yes, without a doubt, in a normal situation,
[00:05:50] elections should be held again in Ukraine, because the president's term has
[00:05:53] ended, and if there were even a small
[00:05:57] window of time, which the president himself mentioned, 60
[00:06:01] days, at least 60 days, elections could
[00:06:04] be held, but the people of Ukraine have the right
[00:06:07] to elect the same president, whose
[00:06:11] last name and first name is Volodymyr Zelensky,
[00:06:14] he could be an excellent candidate to continue
[00:06:18] his term, and only the people of Ukraine can
[00:06:22] choose one or another person, because no one else from
[00:06:25] outside can dictate their candidates. So would you
[00:06:29] consider such a statement by Trump an interference in Ukrainian affairs?
[00:06:32] You know, perhaps it was said spontaneously, I would not
[00:06:35] dramatize the situation here, but it would
[00:06:38] certainly be great if our great ally
[00:06:42] would simply contribute to giving Ukraine such an opportunity
[00:06:46] to organize elections. What
[00:06:49] Russia's Foreign Minister, Mr. Lavrov,
[00:06:52] said, "We can give one day
[00:06:55] for Ukrainian elections to take place," well, that is simply
[00:06:59] a mockery, and Russia continues to behave in this way because it
[00:07:02] sees that it is unpunished and it can do whatever
[00:07:06] it wants, and as long as it continues to think this way,
[00:07:09] peace negotiations will simply be impossible. The
[00:07:13] Financial Times reported that over the weekend
[00:07:17] American officials called European officials and
[00:07:20] Ukrainians and demanded that Ukraine should not
[00:07:24] bomb oil refineries in Russia. Does
[00:07:28] Lithuania receive anything similar to your knowledge or not? No, we
[00:07:31] do not have such information, as far as I know, what is
[00:07:35] more reliably verifiable, it is still
[00:07:38] possible that there were such contacts, primarily because
[00:07:42] they are directed primarily at Ukraine itself, because we are talking about
[00:07:45] it, but well, that really
[00:07:48] should not be done, because if
[00:07:51] there is a ceasefire, then I understand that a ceasefire must be
[00:07:55] from both sides, right? We are somehow now
[00:07:58] talking about the fact that Ukraine must fulfill the conditions
[00:08:01] of the ceasefire, but we are not talking about what Russia will do,
[00:08:05] whether it will comply with those ceasefires or not. If Russia
[00:08:08] is prepared to comply with those ceasefires,
[00:08:11] then Ukraine agrees to such conditions and
[00:08:15] is, as the President himself mentioned, prepared for those
[00:08:18] ceasefires, but if we are talking about a
[00:08:21] situation where Ukraine stopped its operations
[00:08:25] against Russian oil or other energy
[00:08:29] facilities, and Russia continues to bomb
[00:08:34] excuse me, this is no longer a ceasefire, this is simply
[00:08:37] being lined up against the wall to be shot. I did not ask
[00:08:40] you in vain about that pressure
[00:08:43] from Americans on Europe and Ukraine, because just recently
[00:08:47] last week a disinformation conference was held in Lithuania,
[00:08:50] and then, under Washington's pressure, the Ministry of Foreign
[00:08:54] Affairs withdrew
[00:08:56] its support for this conference
[00:09:00] and also asked to remove the logos. So again, at this
[00:09:03] point, I want to ask if this was an independent pressure from Lithuania, or can
[00:09:07] it also be said here that Lithuania experienced pressure from its
[00:09:10] ally? "Well, there is an official
[00:09:13] position,
[00:09:16] I would have very serious doubts whether we can
[00:09:19] label a state as some kind of disinformation
[00:09:22] spreader, but without a doubt, an unofficial
[00:09:26] position of both Lithuanian representatives and representatives of other countries
[00:09:30] can be expressed, when they may have one or
[00:09:33] another opinion regarding our great ally,
[00:09:37] however, let's distinguish between the personal position of people
[00:09:41] or specialists, experts, from the official position, which is already associated
[00:09:44] with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or
[00:09:47] other state institutions. I also want to ask you about
[00:09:51] today's speech by the NATO forces commander in Europe,
[00:09:54] in which he said that if necessary, NATO would strike
[00:09:58] not only military forces attacking any NATO
[00:10:01] state, but also the command post, that is, those who
[00:10:04] control those forces, who command them. But Mr.
[00:10:07] President, do you, for example, have guarantees today that that order will be given
[00:10:11] by the European forces, the NATO forces
[00:10:14] commander in Europe, not President Trump, and seeing how he
[00:10:17] behaves, that decision could be completely different. Well, first of all,
[00:10:21] let's talk about the content of the statement itself, because it is
[00:10:24] based on expert opinion, it is based on
[00:10:28] NATO's defensive
[00:10:32] was, among other things, very strong, so in terms of content, I would say
[00:10:35] it is one of the better news of these
[00:10:38] past weeks, in a very cheerful
[00:10:41] context, and it shows that NATO has a very
[00:10:45] clear strategy based on military
[00:10:49] dominance, how it would act in the event of a Russian attack,
[00:10:52] if Russia attacked a NATO state. And
[00:10:55] most importantly, it is based on dominance in different
[00:10:59] domains, that is, both land, air,
[00:11:02] and sea, and what is more, it was very clearly
[00:11:06] stated that targeted attacks would be directed against
[00:11:09] command posts, which were even geographically identified, Kaliningrad, Saint
[00:11:13] Petersburg and
[00:11:17] similar, Belarus, and this is very
[00:11:20] correct, because in my opinion, such a very
[00:11:23] clear signal is the best deterrent
[00:11:26] factor. If someone in Moscow thinks that, oh,
[00:11:30] perhaps they will, as always, overthink it
[00:11:33] and will not have a clear opinion on how they will act on day X,
[00:11:37] then we have pretty good conditions to test
[00:11:40] them. Well, after such a statement
[00:11:43] from a person who will certainly be one of the most important in making
[00:11:47] decisions, I think, after such a statement, they should think
[00:11:50] very carefully, and it was said very clearly there, perhaps
[00:11:54] not today, but perhaps sometime in the distant
[00:11:57] future. So here we are talking about a general,
[00:12:01] I am also asking about the president, do you have guarantees that I
[00:12:04] have no reason to believe that
[00:12:06] President Trump could have some other
[00:12:10] position, yes, perhaps some will have doubts about
[00:12:13] it, but there are many signals that
[00:12:17] we received from our great ally, positive
[00:12:20] signals regarding their commitment to the security
[00:12:24] of our region, regarding the deployment of United States soldiers,
[00:12:27] so the line of the United States
[00:12:30] is visible, but I say, some decisions still
[00:12:34] cause concern, because these are decisions that
[00:12:37] will certainly not help Ukraine in its
[00:12:40] difficult fight against the aggressor. Thank you, Mr.
[00:12:43] President. We return
[00:12:45] to Panorama.
[00:12:53] We lost a colleague, journalist, editor Henrikas
[00:12:56] Vaitekūnas passed away. He was 77.
[00:13:00] Henrikas Vaitekūnas worked in various newspapers, magazines, taught
[00:13:04] at Vilnius University, was a long-time LRT employee,
[00:13:08] worked as a reporter for the Panorama editorial office, hosted Labas Rytas,
[00:13:11] and later created various television
[00:13:15] 1949,
[00:13:18] Panevėžys. The future journalist had many television
[00:13:21] admirers for his masterful words and wit. But when
[00:13:25] Henrikas Vaitekūnas was three months old, his family moved to Klaipėda.
[00:13:29] In the port city, Vaitekūnas finished high school, music schools, and worked
[00:13:32] as a loader at a canning factory. Later, Vaitekūnas worked and studied in Vilnius,
[00:13:36] Kaunas, and after more than 40 years, he returned to Klaipėda again, because, as he
[00:13:39] said, he became the captain of the show, he began to host Lietuva, a maritime
[00:13:43] state. We are almost at sea.
[00:13:46] The show started airing in 2012, but
[00:13:49] Henrikas Vaitekūnas became a well-known television personality much
[00:13:53] earlier. Henrikas was attracted
[00:13:55] to strange people and he didn't resist.
[00:13:58] For example, in the 90s, a woman calls
[00:14:02] on a landline phone (there were no others at that time)
[00:14:05] and complains to Henrikas that her
[00:14:09] neighbors are letting gas into her apartment through the phone. What does
[00:14:13] Henrikas say? "Madam, I'm slowly turning
[00:14:16] the tap, is it better?" Oh, better, thank you Henrikas,"
[00:14:19] says Henrikas's interlocutor. We get
[00:14:22] skim milk, from 77.
[00:14:30] Vaitekūnas also headed the reporters' department, hosted Labas
[00:14:33] Rytas and prepared reports
[00:14:34] for this program.
[00:14:37] He took it publicly, for a small bun. From '91, Vaitekūnas
[00:14:41] was the Deputy Director of the Kaunas Programs Directorate, and later
[00:14:44] he took over the directorate and created the show "Laisvės alėja".
[00:14:48] When I arrived at a gas station in Kaunas
[00:14:52] and the station was not working.
[00:14:56] "I'm knocking," I say, "give me
[00:14:58] gas." "Well, now," they say, "Laisvės alėja will end, then
[00:15:02] you can fill up." From that pathos, we had to return to
[00:15:05] life, from the whole Sąjūdis wave, freedom, and when
[00:15:09] difficulties began, he saw all that and
[00:15:13] tried to show it. Henrikas's main lesson is
[00:15:16] that a good show should leave
[00:15:19] the viewer wanting more. If the show ends and the viewer
[00:15:22] is simply happy, but went somewhere else, then it's a bad
[00:15:26] show. Vaitekūnas's path to journalism was winding. After
[00:15:29] unfinished journalism studies, he had to delve into librarianship,
[00:15:33] law, Lithuanian language and literature, but the master of words was
[00:15:36] persistent, and in 2000, at the age of 50, he still finished
[00:15:40] journalism. He was able to make people talk
[00:15:44] and to show them as they
[00:15:47] are, not to show them prettier, but to show those
[00:15:50] true ones, but with respect for that person.
[00:15:54] From 2012, Vaitekūnas was one of the hosts of the LRT show Laba
[00:15:58] Diena Lietuva. After some time, he left the show. I
[00:16:01] am not stopping journalistic activities. One only leaves journalism
[00:16:04] when the coffin is carried out. Then, after finishing
[00:16:08] his work in television, Vaitekūnas continued
[00:16:10] to write
[00:16:13] memoirs about it.
[00:16:17] Next year, the title of European Capital of Culture will be shared
[00:16:20] with the Portuguese city of Evora by Liepāja, located on the Latvian coast.
[00:16:23] The program of upcoming events was presented here from Liepāja by Jovita
[00:16:27] Gaižauskaitė and Paulius
[00:16:30] Juocnukis. Liepāja is already becoming
[00:16:33] the European Capital of Culture next year, the third largest Latvian city with
[00:16:39] residents, a port city and a resort will dictate next
[00:16:43] year's cultural trends. 500 events per year,
[00:16:46] Liepāja will invite to so many activities next year, having presented the program
[00:16:50] "Unrest." Unrest. We, living between the sea and
[00:16:54] the land, experiencing paradoxes and very much feeling
[00:16:58] that state of unrest. When the war started
[00:17:01] in Ukraine, we all found ourselves in chaos, feeling
[00:17:04] uneasy, lost, scared, but at the same time.
[00:17:10] The program has been developed for four years by a team of 35 people, and
[00:17:14] creators from 40 countries will also contribute
[00:17:17] to the Capital of Culture events, and joint projects with Lithuanian
[00:17:20] artists and cultural
[00:17:22] institutions are also expected.
[00:17:25] Our main exhibitions will be curated by the Lithuanian Raimundas Malašauskas,
[00:17:29] the biggest "Hypnic Twitch," the horizon of
[00:17:32] unrest in the Liepāja History Museum. We also
[00:17:35] invited talented Lithuanians.
[00:17:40] There will also be more joint exhibitions with the Palanga Amber
[00:17:43] Museum.
[00:17:47] The title of European Capital of Culture has been awarded annually for four decades
[00:17:50] to a different European city each time. Vilnius and
[00:17:53] Kaunas have both been Capitals of Culture. Liepāja will be a capital
[00:17:57] together with the Portuguese city of Evora. This is an opportunity
[00:18:00] to present both the city and
[00:18:02] the country.
[00:18:05] We have the longest-playing orchestra among all Baltic countries,
[00:18:08] we have the oldest theater in Latvia, so for centuries we have been creating cultural events
[00:18:12] and we want to share that, we say
[00:18:15] that music flows in our veins, we organize the choir festival
[00:18:18] Europa Cantat, but we also want to show traditional culture and
[00:18:22] contemporary art. Concerts, exhibitions, festivals,
[00:18:26] theater and dance performances, performances and events created specifically
[00:18:30] for the European Capital of Culture year will invite you to get to know
[00:18:33] Liepāja and discover the region of South Kurzeme and Kuldiga.
[00:18:41] Liepāja thrives on traditional economic activities and tourism, so
[00:18:44] it is natural that we want to attract as many guests as possible, which means more
[00:18:48] investment in tourism, in the city, and the city would develop
[00:18:51] for tourists, but not as
[00:18:53] rapidly.
[00:18:58] When creating and implementing projects, local communities,
[00:19:01] youth, volunteers, artists and representatives of creative industries are involved,
[00:19:05] strengthening the cultural sector, just as some cities, after being capitals,
[00:19:09] successfully attract tourists
[00:19:11] further.
[00:19:14] Four out of ten tourists in Liepāja are Lithuanians. Last year,
[00:19:17] 18,000 Lithuanian overnight stays were recorded in Liepāja. Perhaps
[00:19:21] next year this number will be even higher, when Liepāja begins its year
[00:19:25] as European Capital of Culture.
