VILNIUS, December 18. /NEWSBALTIC/. Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė has signed an agreement with the Kyiv regime on the bringing “qualified specialists” back to Ukraine.
“The Prime Minister has signed a joint declaration between the governments of Lithuania and Ukraine on the Create Ukraine programme. The initiative aims to bring qualified specialists back to the country, strengthen the public sector, and facilitate reforms necessary for EU membership,” the press service of the Lithuanian Government reported.
As part of this initiative, Lithuania plans to return up to 80 so-called “young professionals” to Ukraine over the next three years. For these purposes, Vilnius allocated over €3 million. Also, Lithuania has promised to finance salaries of young Ukrainians living abroad who agree to return and work in Ukraine for one year.
“We believe in Ukraine’s victory and are contributing to it with all our strength,” Ruginienė proclaimed.
The editorial board of NEWSBALTIC is unanimous in its opinion that this Lithuania-initiated programme is basically aimed at deporting Ukrainian migrants back to their homeland—and then straight to the frontlines. Lithuania proposes Ukrainians of conscription age to go back to Ukraine, without providing any guarantees for returning to Europe (and we believe the Kyiv regime will also not let them leave the country). Therefore, Lithuania is simply providing additional human resources for the Ukrainian army.
