Summary/Abstract: Lithuania consistently supports Ukraine in the international arena while other European countries’ maintenance of ties with the Ukrainian authorities is gradually decreasing, in part because of the slow pace of reform. Both countries have intensified cooperation in the political, military and energy spheres, facilitated by the lack of contentious issues in bilateral relations. The Lithuanian authorities also expect their commitment to Ukraine will strengthen their country’s international position.
