Hussar: Cooperation between the Baltic States is stronger than ever

Hussar said at the meeting that cooperation between the Baltic States was stronger than ever before. In his opinion, the cooperation between the three countries, as well as more broadly, with the Nordic Countries and Poland, was excellent. “This is especially important now, when we are facing various challenges in the area of security and defence, and we can see that Russia is not stopping,” he pointed out.

Hussar highlighted the need for unity, both in supporting Ukraine and in relations with the United States. He also said it was important to proceed swiftly with taking into use Russia’s frozen assets and to continue with sanctions against Russia.

During the meeting, Hussar and Paluckas discussed increasing defence spending and promoting defence cooperation, as well as economic cooperation projects, including completing the construction of Rail Baltic. They also spoke about issues relating to Russia’s shadow fleet and hybrid threats.

Chairman of the Estonia-Lithuania Parliamentary Friendship Group Enn Eesmaa also attended the meeting. He said that the parliamentary cooperation between Estonia and Lithuania at the level of the Baltic Assembly and the parliamentary friendship groups was effective and good.

Paluckas is in Tallinn on a one-day working visit. He will also have meetings with President Alar Karis, Prime Minister Kristen Michal and members of the Lithuanian community.
