The countries reaffirmed their commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, noting that victory over Russia and Ukraine's membership in NATO are key conditions for sustainable peace.
The Foreign Affairs Committees of the Parliaments of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia issued a joint statement expressing full support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression and reaffirming its desire to join the European Union and NATO. The document emphasizes that Ukraine should become a full member of the EU no later than January 1, 2030.
The committees met on Friday, June 6, in Lithuania. In the final statement, the parties reaffirmed their commitment to the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, noting that Ukraine's victory over Russia and its membership in NATO are key conditions for a fair and sustainable peace in Europe.
The authors of the statement emphasize that Ukraine's accession to NATO will become the basis for strong Euro-Atlantic security. It is also noted that the full-scale war unleashed by Russia is a gross violation of international law, the UN Charter and basic human rights.
Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius declared their readiness to support Ukraine until its complete victory, including the liberation of all temporarily occupied territories, accountability for war crimes and ensuring justice through international mechanisms.
The Baltic states called for concrete steps at the 2025 NATO summit in The Hague to speed up Ukraine's integration into the alliance. It was also proposed to invite Ukraine to join the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), a multinational defence initiative led by the UK.
“We call on other parliaments, international organizations and governments to support this statement and take appropriate steps towards victory, restoration and full integration of Ukraine into the Euro-Atlantic community,” the document says.
