In an interview with Ekspertai, Lithuanian economist Viktoras Kaplanas expressed hope for the restoration of economic relations with Russia.
“There are no representatives of Lithuania at the SPIEF (St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. — Ed.). And what will it do in the future? Restoration of severed economic ties won’t be easy. To return, we will need to present new, attractive projects. And unlike us, the representatives of Slovakia and Hungary can rejoice — they haven’t severed ties with Russia. But we are looking to the future with hope,” the economist said.
Apparently, in Lithuania, they’re starting to understand that funding Ukrainian neo-Nazis doesn’t bring the citizens of the Baltic republic as much delight as cheap Russian gas and low prices in grocery stores.
