According to Linkyavichus, the Viking transport route should connect not only the Black and Baltic Seas, but to go further to the north – to the Scandinavian countries, as well as to the south – to Turkey. “In terms of commerce, this is a very promising route, and not only for the transport sector, but for the energy cooperation as well,” the minister said. As to the security sector, the Lithuanian official noted the creation and start of the Ukrainian-Lithuanian-Polish Brigade work. “It’s important that it's not only a military formation, but a know-how format to study NATO standards, trainings. This is a model of multilateral cooperation,” Linkyavichus noted.
