tl;dr:

The world needs to be cured of Russia, the first president of post-Soviet Lithuania said Friday. Landsbergis was one of the founders of the pro-independence Reform Movement, which led the struggle for independence from the Soviet Union until Lithuania officially seceded in March 1990. He was president from 1990 to 1992, and later served as a member of the European Parliament from 2004 to 2014. His grandson, Gabrielius, is Lithuania’s current foreign minister, and has been one of Russia’s fiercest critics since the start of the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has led to resurgent fears of further expansionism from Moscow in the Baltic countries, scarred by decades of Russian occupation.

That’s quite an apt description - a foreign entity that has mutated from one cell, has grown grotesquely and invades surrounding tissue/countries.
