Lithuania's prime minister says Ukrainians should get all the weapons they want because they are dying for Europe's safety: 'We're just losing some money'

, striking a much less cautious tone than many of its other allies.

Šimonytė said supporting Ukraine is an obvious human reaction, but also one that protects her country and Europe.But"it is a very practical thing because President Zelenskyy actually says that bluntly: that if you want to stop Russia at the borders of Ukraine, you better provide Ukraine with all the weapons that Ukrainian army needs, because otherwise there might be no end to the war in Europe for a very significant period of time," she told Insider.

While Ukraine's other backers have given more offensive weapons to Ukraine as the war progressed, Lithuania is urging them to send still more,Šimonytė said that the time taken for countries to debate whether to send such weapons"costs people lives." "How can you push back the Russian army from the territory of Ukraine, which we all know should happen, if you do not have heavy weapons?"
