Budrys said that although Ukraine remains committed to diplomacy to end the war, Russia’s preferred “method of negotiation” consists of missile strikes, terror, and destruction. “Russia, unable to win on the battlefield and avoiding real diplomacy, is trying to compensate for its military failure by attacking civilians and infrastructure,” he said.

Budrys stressed, “Europe can no longer ignore the warnings. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable.”
