“First and foremost, it provides much-needed solidarity to reach a collective agreement to continue supporting Ukraine, regardless of political trends and vagaries,” the Lithuanian president said.

He stressed that the establishment of such a fund would not limit countries’ ability to make much larger contributions in support of Ukraine.

“Individual states will continue to try to help [Ukraine – ed.] in various ways, both financially and by other means,” Nausėda added.
