She began by saying that she was outraged by the question.
“This is an expression of Western naivety. We are facing a completely different civilization. За Never with such propaganda, such a totalitarian system, such persecution, people will never take to the streets to overthrow him out of fear,” she said.
The ninth president of Lithuania stressed that it was time for the West to stop having illusions that they could somehow influence the opinion of Russians, somehow “push information through this barrier.”
“It doesn’t matter what the information is – no one will believe it. There are illusions that we can somehow influence and people on the streets will overthrow Putin … This has never happened and will not happen in history,” Grybauskaite said.
She is convinced that the sanctions will not force the Russians to change their minds. Moreover, according to Grybauskaite, they will unite the people of Russia against the West.
“Believe me, I had lunch with representatives of the West and jokingly said: the Russians have enough potatoes, cucumbers and something else to survive. We, spoiled Westerners, think they will not have enough Western shampoos or something. So it will not happen. They will survive and survive any of our sanctions, “she concluded.
