Europe will not be able to replace US aid to Ukraine. There are critical supplies that we do not have - Lithuanian Foreign Minister Budrys
Europe will not be able to fully replace the assistance that Ukraine has been receiving from the United States. We are talking about critical supplies for which the EU has no replacement at all.
This opinion was expressed by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys, Censor.NET reports with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
"There are critical supplies for which we have no substitutes, and we all know what they are. That is why we must continue to cooperate with the United States," he said.
Another thing, according to the minister, is that there should be more cooperation between the EU and Ukraine as a future EU member in the defense industry, in particular, Lithuania is already investing in Ukraine's defense industry.
"And we are looking for projects of cooperation and collaboration between our companies. And I believe that we will be stronger with our own production and there will be no gaps between Ukraine and Europe in what we produce. This is our goal," Budris added.
Earlier, Budris noted that Ukraine's accession to the EU is quite achievable and will happen by 2030.
