Poland and Lithuania on Monday openly broke ranks with the Biden administration over Ukraine. It evinces their deep concern over the U.S. response to Russia’s threatened invasion of Ukraine.

In a show of support for Ukraine, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda and Polish President Andrzej Duda traveled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The three leaders “called upon the international community to step up sanctions on the Russian Federation over its ongoing aggression against Ukraine.” In a clear reference to Ukraine’s want for more weapons, Zelensky requested “powerful preventative actions” from the West.
