Ukrainian president appoints Lithuania’s former PM to advisory council

Other members of the council include Sweden’s ex-PM Carl Bildt, US Senator John McCain, Georgia’s ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili, the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Elmar Brok, Swedish economist Anders Aslund, Slovakia’s ex-PM Mikulas Dzurinda and MEP Jacek Saryusz Wojsky.

Ukraine’s pro-Western administration already includes several Lithuanians. Aivaras Abromavičius serves as minister of economy, former European commissioner Algirdas Šemeta works as business ombudsman, while former economy vice-minister Adomas Audickas and former presidential adviser Nerijus Udrėnas work as advisers in Ukraine.
