Baltic States – CIS, Energy, EU – Baltic States, Lithuania, Markets and Companies, Ukraine

"There is especially huge pressure on the economy, with bans on some products, much like the ban on Lithuanian milk products. The pressure on energy prices is increasingly visible. All this is having an impact on public opinion and on the official decisions," said Grybauskaite in an interview with Radio Free Europe.

Asked if the summit were a failure if there were no signature with Ukraine, the Lithuanian president said she did not agree with it. "The results of the meeting will be positive in any case, since Eastern Partnership countries carried out many positive changes in democratization, human rights protection and economic areas," said Grybauskaite.

"Whatever Ukraine will decide, finally – even if they will not be able to fulfil all the necessary steps, which I doubt I think we still have greater chance for a more positive outcome than a negative. I think already Ukraine is successfully achieving very good results for themselves because they are on the path of reform," said the Lithuanian president.
