Baltic states want more EU financial support for handling Ukrainian refugees

VILNIUS (Reuters) – The Baltic states on Tuesday askedĀ for more financial support from the EU to handle Ukrainian refugees, the Lithuanian president’s office said.

“We must share the financial burden, which at the moment is unproportionally assigned to national budgets.

EU solidarity is very important to assure proper support to war refugees from Ukraine”, Lithuania’s president Gitanas Nauseda said in a statement.
