Kyiv.Ukraine.Ukraine Gate – October- 21,2021- The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is making efforts to hold the Lublin Triangle Inter-parliamentary Assembly meeting in Warsaw in December.

The Lublin Triangle is a trilateral platform for political, economic, cultural, and social cooperation between Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine, aimed in particular at strengthening dialogue between the countries, supporting Ukraine’s integration into the European Union and NATO, and jointly countering Russian aggression.
