Baltic Parliaments Reiterate Strong Support for Ukraine's Sovereignty

The speakers of the parliaments of Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania have once again shown their unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. In a joint declaration, they have emphasised the importance of involving Ukraine in decisions concerning its own future and those affecting Europe.

The Baltic states stand firm against Russia's aggression and violations of international law, and they hold Russia responsible for the war and its consequences. They believe that only Russia can end the conflict by stopping its aggression.

The joint declaration supports a strategy that combines determined diplomacy, unwavering support for Ukraine, and sustained pressure on Russia to end its illegal war. Negotiations can only be held in the context of a ceasefire, and the upholding of Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity, constitution, and UN Charter principles is crucial in any agreements reached.

In the declaration, the speakers of the parliaments have made it clear that the use of force to alter international borders is unacceptable and against international law. They also state that Russia must not benefit from its war of aggression through territorial gains and should not be appeased.

The Baltic states continue to support Ukraine diplomatically, militarily, and financially, and they will maintain and strengthen sanctions against Russia. They believe it is vital to continue providing political, economic, military, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine while upholding these sanctions.

The joint declaration was published on Tuesday, and it underscores regional solidarity in support of Ukraine amid ongoing Russian geopolitical aggression. The Baltic states remain united and resolute in backing Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence and in demanding respect for its territorial integrity against external aggression.

The declaration does not discuss any potential concessions or compromises in the negotiations, nor does it provide a timeline for the delivery of the stated support and sanctions. It also does not mention any specific negotiations or talks beyond those in Alaska. The declaration does not specify any new countries involved, and it does not address any potential outcomes or resolutions of the conflict beyond ending Russia's war of aggression.

In conclusion, the Baltic parliaments have reaffirmed their commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, advocating for a diplomatic solution that ensures the security interests of both Ukraine and Europe. They continue to stand with Ukraine in its struggle for peace and territorial integrity.
