Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a surprise visit to Lithuania on Wednesday. This visit to the Baltic NATO member country, Lithuania, a staunch supporter of Kyiv, comes as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is nearing its second anniversary.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said in a statement he was welcoming Zelenskyy to his country, where the two leaders would discuss the war and Ukrainian “integration into the EU and NATO.”
Lithuania has been a strong supporter of Ukraine in various ways including;
Financial support where the country pledged almost $220 million in a three (3) year support for Ukraine. It includes long term military aids package.
Lithuania also opened its homes to tens of thousands of war refugees from Ukraine.
Lithuania has consistently supported Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian War and has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine joining NATO. These and many other support that Ukraine have benefited from Lithuania.
After Lithuania, Zelenskyy will continue on to Latvia and Estonia in the coming days. This visit is seen as a significant move amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia.
