Western leaders arrive in Kyiv as Ukrainian forces set sights on Russia's Ozon

Russian forces also carried out a number of attacks on Ukraine's railway network on Sunday as Ukrainians prep for the country's Independence Day.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda delivered a speech in Ukrainian during his visit to Kyiv, expressing his admiration for the spirit of self-sacrifice demonstrated by the Ukrainian people. He recalled his visit to Kyiv in February 2022, just a day before Russia launched its full-scale armed aggression. Nausėda emphasized that the unity of Lithuania with Ukraine during that time was evident in the Ukrainian flags that adorned the streets of Lithuanian cities.

He assured the Ukrainian audience that Lithuania understands that only Ukraine's victory can bring peace and security to all of Europe, and therefore, Lithuania will continue to support Ukraine. The President reiterated that Lithuania does not recognize the occupation of Ukrainian territories and pledged to increase pressure on the aggressor state and its allies.

Moreover, Nausėda assured that Lithuania will help Ukraine rebuild destroyed infrastructure and support its aspirations to join the European Union and NATO. The President also visited a Russian-destroyed book warehouse in Kharkiv, highlighting Lithuania's solidarity with Ukraine.
