Lithuania proposes non-stop visits of EU leaders to Ukraine to discourage war – EURACTIV.com

A ‘continued physical presence’ of European representatives on the ground in Ukraine over the coming days and weeks could prevent an escalation, according to a letter sent on Tuesday (15 February), seen by EURACTIV.

“What matters the most right now is a clear demonstration that we stand with Ukraine – morally, politically, and also literally,” Lithuania’s foreign minister Gabrelius Landsbergis wrote in the letter addressed to EU’s chief diplomat Josep Borrell, EU foreign ministers and NATO partners.

“That is why I suggest that all EU and NATO ministers of foreign affairs plan coordinated visits to Ukraine in the coming days and weeks,” Landsbergis wrote to his counterparts.
