Fighting for freedom/ Ditmir Bushati and Gabrielius Landsbergis in 'Public

In the latest episode of the Public Square podcast, Ditmir Bushati welcomed Gabrielius Landsbergis, former Foreign Minister of Lithuania, to discuss current security challenges in Europe and the fight for freedom in the face of Russian aggression. With a unique perspective from the Baltics, Landsbergis shared his experience as a minister during the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of a common European response and a sustained commitment to the protection of democratic values.

Landsbergis stressed that Vladimir Putin's colonial ambitions have not stopped and that Europe is still not fully aware of the real danger that Russia poses, not only to Ukraine, but also to European security itself. He raised concerns about the West's ability to respond to new security challenges, especially at a time when the transatlantic relationship is being tested.

An important part of the discussion was also dedicated to the future of EU enlargement, where Landsbergis gave a clear message:

"Europe must show real will and determination, moving from words to concrete actions," Landsbergis said.

He expressed concern that the enlargement process is dragging on, risking losing the stabilizing influence it has had so far in the region.

This episode also brings to attention the global challenges related to China's influence, the situation in Taiwan and changes in US foreign policy doctrine. With direct and unfiltered analysis, Landsbergis appeals for a stronger, more united and more responsible Europe in defense of the international order and its very existence as a global actor.
