Lithuania has been and remains one of Ukraine's most important strategic allies, as the history of Ukrainian-Lithuanian relations dates back thousands of years. This was emphasized by Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk during the meeting with Vice Speaker of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania Paulus Saudargas.
