Nauseda noted that providing military and economic support to Ukraine is crucial for protecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Lithuanian leader also plans to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
For reference:
It should be noted that on September 9, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the Summit of the Crimean Platform, which will be held on Wednesday, September 11.
The Summit of the Crimean Platform is an international event initiated by Ukraine, the purpose of which is to consolidate the efforts of the international community to de-occupy Crimea, restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and increase pressure on Russia. Legal, economic, political, and humanitarian ways of returning Crimea to Ukrainian control are discussed at the summit.
It is worth adding that the last Summit of the Crimean Platform was held in the Czech Republic on October 23 last year. Almost 70 parliaments and parliamentary assemblies representing five continents took part in it.
