Lithuanian president: Ukrainian elections must be free of external interference

In the president’s words, a free and democratic Ukraine is an interest of the whole Europe, therefore, the upcoming parliamentary elections should proceed without any external interference and provocations, the President’s Office said.

Grybauskaitė underlined that elections in the entire territory of Ukraine, including Donetsk and Luhansk regions, must take place in accordance with Ukrainian law.

“Arbitrarily held elections will be deemed unlawful and their results will not be recognized,” reads the press release.
