Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Lithuanian Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas in Kyiv to discuss military cooperation, in particular, the need to strengthen Ukraine's air defense and protect its energy infrastructure.

"I am deeply grateful to Lithuania for its unwavering support and comprehensive assistance to Ukraine. Your assistance is a vital contribution to our struggle for a just and lasting peace. We highly appreciate Lithuania's annual allocation of 0.25% of its GDP to support the defense and security needs of our state," he said on the Telegram channel Friday evening.

The head of state emphasized that the first visit to Ukraine by the new Lithuanian government immediately after its appointment showed Lithuania's clear priority regarding the union between it and Ukraine.
