Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas Talks to the Head of the Government of Ukraine: Lithuania's Support to Ukraine is an Unshakeable Commitment
Today, Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas, the Prime Minister of the 19th sworn-in Government of the Republic of Lithuania, spoke by video link with the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal. Prime Minister Paluckas emphasised Lihuania's unwavering commitment to fully support Ukraine in its defence against Russian aggression, both during the conflict and in the aftermath of Ukraine's victory. He highlighted this support as a key foreign policy and security priority of the new Government.
"Ukraine can continue to rely fully on Lithuania and our unwavering support in its fight for freedom. We stand with Ukraine and its people, and we will remain steadfast until Ukraine's victory and beyond. Military, humanitarian, political, economic and other forms of support, along with assistance in Ukraine's reconstruction and recovery, as well as support to its efforts to achieve full membership of the EU and NATO, are among the key commitments of the incoming Government. Ukraine's struggle for freedom is also a struggle for a sustainable and just peace in Europe", said Prime Minister Paluckas.
The remote call included discussions on the regional security situation, Ukraine's most pressing assistance needs, and the necessity of maintaining and intensifying sanctions on Russia and regimes complicit in the aggression against Ukraine.
Prime Minister Paluckas thanked his counterpart, Denys Shmyhal, for the invitation to visit Ukraine in the near future.
