Landsbergis met with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba, the Foreign Ministry said.

"In the meantime, the Moscow regime is using the Zaporizhzhia NPP as a blackmailing tool and is pushing the whole of Europe into a nuclear danger. The only way to prevent the disaster is to establish an internationally supervised safe zone at the Zaporizhzhia NPP and expel the Russian occupants from there. I think that an international coalition would help to get out of this impasse," Landsbergis was quoted as saying in the ministry's statement.

During the visit, the ministers also visited the port of Odesa where they met with the authorities of Odesa Sea Trade Port. Landsbergis said that Lithuania consistently supports efforts to rebuild Ukrainian export routes vital both for Ukraine and the regions outside Europe. In his words, by blocking Ukrainian ports, Russia is weaponizing the shortage of food/famine.

"Today we witnessed that the agreement on Ukrainian grain exports is working, despite Russia's attempts to manipulate the facts," the Lithuanian foreign minister said.

Landsbergis also met with the head of the military administration of the Odesa region, Maxim Marchenko, who informed the ministers about the security situation in the Odesa region.

"We understand well that Ukraine is fighting for our freedom and security. Lithuania will continue providing all kind of support and mobilizing the support of the international community for Ukraine," Landsbergis said.

Also on Wednesday, the Lithuanian foreign minister paid a visit to Moldova where he assured Chisinau of Lithuania's humanitarian and expert support on its path to European integration.

Landsbergis visited Moldova in Ukraine with his Irish counterpart Simon Coveney.
