President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania Ingrida Šimonytė visited the Alley of Courage on Constitution Square in Kyiv and took part in the unveiling of a symbolic plaque with the name of the head of the Lithuanian government. This plaque was created as a token of gratitude for the help that Lithuania has provided to Ukraine in the fight against the Russian aggressor.
As the Head of the Ukrainian State said, the names of our friends and partners, who have been with Ukrainians since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia, should be engraved not only in people's memories, but also in metal, so that future generations can see them.
"This is a place for great people who have been helping Ukraine, supporting us since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. I want to thank you," Zelenskyy said.
Šimonytė said that help and support is the least that the Lithuanian people can do for Ukraine to thank for the resilience and strength that Ukrainians show for the sake of the whole of Europe.
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania expressed the opinion that the creation of the Alley of Courage will encourage friends of Ukraine to come to this place. She said that she will visit Alley with her friends and family after Ukraine's victory.
"We will stand with you until your victory, because what you do is important for us too," Šimonytė said.
