Details
We believe that the Congress will make the right decision and approve the much-needed assistance package for Ukraine. Support for Ukraine is an investment in our common secure future
The letter emphasizes that Europe is taking historic steps to strengthen its defense capabilities, but it takes time - time that Ukraine does not have. That is why U.S. assistance is extremely important at this critical time.
It is noted that the Baltic Initiative is one of the examples of strengthening the defense of Europe.
With our joint assistance, we managed to stop the aggressor and liberate a significant part of the occupied territory of Ukraine. However, Russia's direct threats are relentless. Therefore, we welcome the United States' strong leadership and determination to support freedom and security in Europe as part of our joint efforts
Addendum
The heads of parliaments also noted that the tendency to undermine the established order is sharply increasing in the world and Russia is trying to destabilize the situation by any means, including hybrid aggression.
Our countries are firmly committed to further increasing the support provided to Ukraine and its armed forces, as we recognize this as a significant contribution to both our personal and collective security
Recall
