“We must continue and accelerate military, humanitarian and financial assistance so that Ukraine wins this war sooner. The volume of Lithuanian bilateral assistance to Ukraine and support for refugees from Ukraine in our country exceeds half a billion euros. Lithuania will transfer an additional 10 million euros to the National Bank of Ukraine for urgent restoration work.”
The head of the Lithuanian government added that “Lithuania will support Ukraine until your and our victory, and after it.”
According to Simonyte, the most correct and fair way to collect funds for the reconstruction of Ukraine would be the confiscation and the use of Russian assets frozen by sanctions.
“We cannot resurrect the people killed by Russia, but we have a real chance to force the aggressors to pay reparations. If only because this money is kept in our banks and moored to our berths. I call on the European Union and all non-EU countries that have imposed sanctions to create a legal mechanism for the confiscation of assets and make the sanctions effective.”
