“Despite the ceasefire, we read reports of Ukrainian soldiers killed or wounded almost every day. For seven years now, Ukraine has pursued an ambitious reform program, while countering external aggression. We support the constant and determined efforts of Ukraine to find a peaceful solution to the Donbass conflict. Unfortunately, so far we do not see any significant efforts from Russia and its supported groups in Donbass, “the Minister noted.

During his visit to the Parliament of Ukraine, Mr. Landsbergis and the President of the Verkhovna Rada Dmytro Razumkov discussed the implementation of key reforms in Ukraine and priority legislative initiatives. “Ukraine has made significant progress in the implementation of important structural reforms. It is important to continue with them, while ensuring the proper functioning of the institutions responsible for the fight against corruption and the independence of the judiciary,” said the Minister.

The meeting with Oleksiy Reznikov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Reintegration of the Occupied Territories, focused on Russia’s aggression in eastern Ukraine, discussing conflict resolution initiatives, providing assistance to war-affected Ukrainian citizens and soldiers, and the situation in Crimea. “One of the most important development cooperation projects currently being implemented in Lithuania is supporting the installation of the Avdijivka school in the Donetsk region and the improvement of the environment. The successful implementation of the project will contribute to the reconstruction of the war-torn region, “he said.

The Minister will also meet with Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister of Europe for Euro-Euro-Atlantic Integration, to discuss the implementation and future aspirations of the European Union-Ukraine Association Agreement and Ukraine’s priorities for Euro-Atlantic integration and the Lithuania’s support for these.
