Why it matters
Strengthening the alliance between Poland and Lithuania is critical for NATO and EU security posture on the eastern flank of Europe.
VILNIUS - Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk discussed continued regional support for Ukraine during a phone call on Thursday.
"Common responsibility requires the closest possible cooperation between our countries, and my government will pay special attention to this. Our firm stance in supporting Ukraine is also extremely important. Our region, which has long experienced attacks from the east, must remain an immovable rear for the Ukrainians," Sinkevicius said.
The conversation took place amid tensions between Poland and Ukraine over historical issues related to the assessment of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
During the call with Tusk, Sinkevicius also stressed that as Russia continues its military aggression against Ukraine and poses a threat to European security, it is necessary to continue actively supporting Kyiv and increasing pressure on the Kremlin to achieve a sustainable and just peace.
