| Lithuania's President Dalia Grybauskaite |
Lithuania’s president has launched a scathing attack on Russia on the eve of V-E Day, warning that "we cannot accept the blackmail of an aggressor who calls itself the victor of Europe but who has launched a new war against Ukraine."
Dalia Grybauskaite, president of the tiny Baltic republic that ended the Second World War under Soviet rule, has been one of Russia’s harshest critics since the advent of the Ukraine crisis.
"Those who call themselves the conquer[or]s and liberators of Europe have begun a new war in Europe against a sovereign state wishing only to decide its own future," she said in an interview for the Polish press. » | Matthew Day in Warsaw | Thursday, May 07, 2015
