The President of Lithuania underscored that as new conflicts emerge in Europe’s neighborhood, it is important to maintain the international community’s focus on Ukraine. According to the President, Lithuania and Poland must not only continue to actively support Ukraine, but also mobilize allies and partners to maintain the speed and the scope of support.
“Lithuania and Poland fully understand the importance of Ukraine’s victory against Russia. This is the only way to achieve peace and stability in Europe. We cannot let the war fatigue set in and we have to continue keeping our support for Ukraine at the top of the international agenda,” the President added.
During the conversation, Gitanas Nausėda underlined that as the security situation in the region is not improving, Lithuania is actively investing in defense. According to the Head of State, cooperation between Lithuania and Poland in ensuring the security of the region, both bilaterally and within NATO, is of utmost importance.
President Gitanas Nausėda also stressed the need to effectively implement the decisions taken at the NATO Summit in Vilnius on strengthening NATO’s eastern flank, as well as to put more emphasis on improving military mobility in the region.
