Kherson Oblast borders with Crimea, so effects of the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia are felt most acutely. Lithuania’s Foreign Minister assured members of the Ukrainian delegation that Lithuania would continue to strongly support Ukraine.
The Ukrainian representatives thanked Lithuania for its continued support and called on Lithuanian institutions and entrepreneurs to expand cooperation in Kherson Oblast infrastructure, agriculture, renewable energy, culture and education sectors, as well as to contribute to the establishment of the European Integration Center in Kherson.
The Ukrainian representatives are visiting Lithuania on 16-17 October. They will also hold meetings with members of the Seimas (Parliament) of Lithuania, representatives of the Ministry of Economy and Innovation, the Ministry of Agriculture, and businessmen.
