VILNIUS Lithuania's president urged Nato leaders to be bolder in addressing Ukraine's push for membership at a summit in his country next week, saying this would boost Kyiv's battlefield performance while Moscow would see any caution as weakness. In an interview with Reuters , President Gitanas Nauseda advised Nato allies to disregard fears that bringing Ukraine into the US-led military alliance would provoke Russia, which invaded Ukraine on Feb 22, 2022. "We should not hesitate to take bolder decisions because otherwise the Putin regime will decide that the Western allies are too weak, (that they should be) pushed to the corner and they will surrender", Nauseda said on Monday (July 3).
