During a guest appearance on the show "New Day" by Lithuanian National Television, Member of the European Parliament Rasa Juknevičienė discussed the recent Free Russia Forum held in Vilnius. She remarked on the multifaceted nature of the Russian opposition, emphasizing that while there are many varying factions, Garry Kasparov's assembly resonates more closely with her views. This alignment is driven by their perspectives on the ongoing war in Ukraine and their shared vision for a future Russia.

Juknevičienė expressed that the current dynamics in the Russian opposition are crucial, especially in how they relate to the conflict in Ukraine. The criticism directed towards the West stems from a perception that Western nations might be hesitant to fully support the opposition’s efforts—reflecting a fear of committing until an outright victory is achieved in the Russian struggle against authoritarianism. This hesitance is viewed as potentially detrimental not only to the Russian opposition but to broader geopolitical interests.

In her discourse, Juknevičienė highlighted the need for a stronger stance from the West in supporting democratic movements within Russia, asserting that the current situation requires decisive action rather than caution. The discussions and analyses from the forum shed light on the opposition's challenges and the urgent need for international backing if they are to make significant headway against the entrenched Russian regime.
