He has recently been in the news for his controversial stance regarding the extension of national sanctions against Russian and Belarusian citizens, as part of Lithuania's response to military aggression in Ukraine. His decision to abstain from voting on the government's proposal has sparked discussions about the presence of pro-Eastern sentiments within the parliament, which was highlighted by fellow politician Saulius Skvernelis.
