ČmilytėNielsen: Lithuania supports Sweden’s determination to continue supporting Ukraine
“Sweden’s strong stance on democratic values is needed right now.” I’m glad we’re in good hands. In the efficient and successful hands of the Swedes”, said V. Čmilytė-Nielsen to the participants of the event.
According to the press release, the Speaker of the Seimas noted that it is very symbolic that Sweden began to preside over the EU Council when the 30th anniversary of the common market is being mentioned.
“Creation of the common market is the solution to increase Europe’s competitiveness and attractiveness in the world. The Single Market is often at risk when we do not find European solutions in key areas. For example, in energy, where it is necessary to reduce energy prices and develop renewable energy sources, as well as to strive for the independence of the European Union from Russian resources”, noted V. Čmilytė-Nielsen.
The head of the parliament pointed out that Lithuania should support Sweden’s determination to continue supporting Ukraine, coordinate the country’s reconstruction and help it on the European path, and welcomes efforts to ensure Russia’s responsibility for the crime of war and aggression.
