Ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Lithuania Petro Beshta gave an interview to the Lithuanian news agency ELTA.
The main points:
-
We express our deep gratitude to Lithuania for its position and actions. The Lithuanian leadership has condemned in the strongest possible terms Russia's terrorist attacks on 8 July on Kyiv and many other cities in Ukraine.
-
In particular, we would like to thank the Government of Lithuania for the decision to allocate 1 million euros for the reconstruction of the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kyiv and other damaged facilities.
-
These brutal attacks testify to the fact that on the eve of the Summit in Washington, Putin has sent NATO a message and a provocation, expecting a reaction. He wants to show the world that the Alliance is not capable of a strong response.
-
NATO must respond very clearly and very decisively to these actions and take decisions to prevent similar provocations in the future.
-
NATO should commit to support Ukraine in achieving victory and to provide Ukraine with all the weapons needed without any restrictions. This is a position that Lithuania has been advocating for a long time, and we greatly appreciate it.
