NATO will soon have to show whether "it is serious" about helping Ukraine win the war, said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.

The alliance also needs to show whether it is ready to deter Russia and “invite new members”, Landsbergis said in the run-up to the NATO foreign ministers meeting in Prague, Czech Republic.

"We've been quite good at speaking nice words, making promises, but we have to start delivering on this. And it's not just about those who depend on our promises, but it's also about our credibility," he said.

At the last meeting before the Washington Summit, top diplomats from NATO countries are discussing the long-term practical and political support to Ukraine and Kyiv’s path to NATO membership.

The NATO Summit in Washington will take place between July 9 and 11.
