On the occasion of the ceremonies marking the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence, the Prime Minister paid tribute to the victims of the war and reaffirmed Luxembourg's solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
"For more than four years, the Ukrainian people have been resisting Russia's war of aggression and are thereby defending freedom in Europe. Their courage and endurance deserve our recognition and our continued support," the Prime Minister said.
On the margins of the meeting, Prime Minister Luc Frieden held bilateral talks with President Zelensky and with the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Sergii Koretskyi. The discussions focused notably on bilateral relations, the continuation of Luxembourg's support for Ukraine, and the main European security challenges in the light of the latest developments on the ground.
