Quote: "We will support you until your victory, it is our unbreakable commitment. We will support your path to NATO –  your place is in NATO, with us in NATO," Landsbergis said.

Also, according to him, Lithuania will continue to support the special tribunal on the crime of aggression.

"We will lobby and advocate for more weapons and ammunition, including the F-16s you need. Because your struggle is our struggle. Because your freedom is our freedom," Landsbergis said.

As was reported earlier, Ukraine's Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba asked Ukrainian partners to accelerate the decision to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighters.
