The Office of the President of Lithuania reports that Gitanas Nauseda will also meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his working visit to Kyiv and discuss the issue of assistance to Ukraine, which is defending itself from Russian aggression, and negotiations on Ukraine's membership in the European Union. The visit was not announced in advance.

Background: 

  • Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia joined the Group of Seven declaration of support for Ukraine adopted on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Vilnius, which is also informally referred to as the "security guarantees" declaration.
  • As is known, the Group of Seven countries at the NATO summit in Vilnius agreed on a framework document on security guarantees for Ukraine.

    The leaders agreed not on specific parameters of security guarantees, but on their framework, and specific bilateral agreements will be signed later. 

  • On 3 August, Ukraine and the United States of America started negotiations on a bilateral agreement.
