I spoke with the President of Lithuania, @GitanasNauseda. I informed about contacts with partners and diplomatic efforts. I thanked Lithuania and all the countries of Northern Europe and the Baltic region for yesterday’s declaration in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, as well as for readiness to make diplomatic efforts, provide assistance to our country, and strengthen sanctions against Russia. We share the same position: first, there must be a ceasefire, and then the search for a diplomatic solution that will make it possible to end the war with a just and lasting peace. Without clear security guarantees, any other arrangements would only give Russia the opportunity to restore its forces. We discussed the situation on the battlefield and our needs. I thanked Lithuania for its contribution to supplying Patriot systems to Ukraine. We also spoke about the situation regarding the negotiation process on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. Gitanas fully shares our position: Ukraine and Moldova must move toward EU membership in a synchronized and simultaneous manner. Thank you!(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
