Lithuania is urging Canada to sign on to a long-term package of support for Ukraine that would funnel more investment into the Eastern European country and strengthen its ties with the West as Kyiv struggles to fight internal corruption and rebuild its economy despite a war with Russia-backed separatists.
The Lithuanian government in concert with Ukraine is championing what is provisionally called a “European Plan for Ukraine” and would disburse an estimated $7.47-billion annually to Ukrainian recipients for a period of 10 years.
