Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis is scheduled to land in Kyiv on Friday, March 24. Reports from Delphi indicate the visit, but the exact purpose and agenda of the talks have not been officially disclosed. The Lithuanian side has not published a formal schedule on its Foreign Ministry website, leaving observers to piece together potential objectives from recent diplomatic activity and regional priorities.
Landsbergis last visited Ukraine in November of the previous year, when he joined a high level gathering with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and fellow European foreign ministers from seven countries. The meeting underscored a coordinated European stance on the war and Ukraine’s pursuit of closer security and political alignment with Western partners. The visit highlighted Lithuania’s ongoing commitment to Ukraine amid the security crisis in Europe and its role in shaping broader European response strategies. The absence of a published agenda this time around has sparked speculation about whether the discussions will focus on defense coordination, humanitarian assistance, or postwar reconstruction planning, as well as continued sanctions enforcement against the aggressor nation.

Meanwhile, on March 21 a new round of high level visits unfolded in Kyiv. A deputy from the Verkhovna Rada, Alexei Goncharenko, confirmed that Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu had arrived in the city and visited the Ukrainian parliament. The deputy did not provide further details about the discussions or outcomes, but the movement of Baltic and Nordic diplomats signals a broader regional effort to sustain Ukrainian resilience and maintain international pressure on Moscow. The strategic intent appears to be reinforcing political unity, ensuring military aid channels remain open, and coordinating efforts to support Ukraine on multiple fronts including security guarantees, economic stability, and governance reform.

Earlier, it was reported that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan had reached Kyiv to hold talks with Zelensky. Kishida was notable for being the sole leader among the G seven nations who had not yet visited Ukraine after the onset of the Russian military operation. His decision to travel to Kyiv marked a significant step in Tokyo’s posture toward Ukraine, signaling strong alliance and shared concern about regional stability. The summit in Kyiv was anticipated to address immediate security assurances, ongoing reconstruction needs, and continued collaboration with allied partners to support Ukraine through political and economic measures.
