Presidents Gitanas Nausėda of Lithuania, Edgars Rinkēvičs of Latvia, and Andrzej Duda of Poland refused to take a “family photo” with Belarusian dictator Alyaksandr Lukashenka at the UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai.
This was reported by LRT.
“It would be hypocritical to stand shoulder to shoulder with the leader of the country that became a springboard for Russian aggression against Ukraine. This is called a family photo. Lukashenko is not a part of the family we want to belong to,” Nauseda said.
The Lithuanian president emphasized that Lukashenko’s regime “contributes to the destruction of the future world and, together with Russia, is responsible for what is happening in Ukraine – from the deaths of people to the catastrophic impact on the environment.”
