The defence ministers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia on Monday discussed the situation in Ukraine and condemned the de facto occupation of the Crimean territory, Lithuania’s Ministry of National Defence said in a statement.
The ministers held a video conference to discuss the situation in Ukraine and in the neighbourhood of the Baltic States.
