“The new Government pays great regard to the reforms in Ukraine. Despite serious challenges, we observe positive change coming from the implementation of the reform. Our support will be continued and expanded,” said Minister of National Defence A. Anušauskas.
Ukrainian Ambassador Yatsenkivskyi stressed that Ukraine would maintain the pace of reforms and resolutely pursue membership in NATO and the European Union. "This is a key priority that is enshrined in the Ukrainian Constitution," the Ambassador said at the meeting. He thanked Lithuania for continued political support for Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration aspirations, as well as for sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders.
Minister of National Defence A. Anušauskas underscored the need to enhance security and stability in our region. Shady military activities in the neighbourhood of Lithuania and Ukraine raise concerns. Minister underlined that both countries could strengthen bilateral cooperation in that area.
It was agreed to continue bilateral consultations on relevant issues of bilateral cooperation and regional security.
