VILNIUS, Dec. 3 – Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite has sharply criticized Russia's policy towards Ukraine and voiced support for continuing anti-Russian sanctions.

"A fragile truce in Ukraine is not peace. The ceasefire agreement is being constantly violated, heavy military equipment has not been withdrawn, and Ukrainian control over its border has not been restored. Russia continues to undermine international law in Ukraine, and the fight against terrorism that Russia is demonstrating is hardly convincing. The security of Europe and Ukraine is not a bargaining chip," the President said at a meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who has arrived in Lithuania on a working visit.
