РЕЗУЛЬТАТИ ВІЗИТІВ ПРЕЗИДЕНТА УКРАЇНИ ДО ЕСТОНІЇ ТА ЛИТВИ
Роман Кот
Країни Балтії, а саме Литву, Латвію і Естонію, не можна вважати найбільш впливовими у Європейському Союзі. Але вони завжди були і залишаються тими, кого можна назвати на міжнародній арені найбільш надійними адвокатами Києва, і що мають позитивний досвід з адаптації своїх політичних та економічних систем до норм ЄС. Саме на цих двох напрямах і було сконцентровано увагу під час дводенної поїздки президента України Володимира Зеленського до Естонії та Литви. Однак резони і напрями взаємодії Києва з Таллінном та Вільнюсом дещо відрізняються.

Ukraine should establish cooperation with the format of the Bucharest Nine at the institutional level Roman Kot Recent events, such as the return of the Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, consolidation by Germany of the irreversibility of the “Nord Stream 2” project, or the resumption of Western European companies’ investments in Russia, will again raise the issue of differences in points of view on the security situation in Central and Eastern Europe and, in particular, on Russia’s role in the region.

Suggestions for Action Strategy Victor Hvozd Taking into consideration national interests, the main tasks of our state at the current historical stage are to restore its territorial integrity and to practically realize the European choice. As the positions of the new Ukrainian leadership show, these tasks are immutable and of a priority nature.
