The Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė - often called Lithuania's Iron Lady - has told the BBC that Russia's cancellation of the South Stream pipeline is welcome proof that Europe's stance over Ukraine is working, despite the unhappiness over the decision in several other EU states. In an interview with the BBC's Vishala Sri-Pathma, she also repeated an earlier assertion that Russia was displaying "features of a terrorist state".
