Landsbergis first published a photo on his profile on X (formerly Twitter) showing the UN Secretary General shaking hands with Putin, signing it "This is the UeNd".

In the next post, he wrote the following statement: “If @antonioguterres decides to resign, Lithuania won't try to talk him out of it.“
