The announcement came on Wednesday during a ceremony in Lublin, southeastern Poland, marking the fifth anniversary of the Lublin Triangle — a regional alliance between Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine aimed at strengthening cooperation across multiple sectors.

Ongoing Military and Diplomatic Support
Sikorski highlighted that Poland has sent 45 packages of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine so far and is planning additional deliveries. He emphasised that the €4 billion in aid does not include logistical efforts in coordinating equipment from other nations or the humanitarian support provided through third-party assistance. Sikorski also revealed that Poland will host the Ukraine Recovery Conference next year, an annual event focused on coordinating efforts for Ukraine's reconstruction.

Alongside Sikorski, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha were present at the Lublin Triangle anniversary event. The three leaders reaffirmed their countries' unity and pledged ongoing support for Ukraine's defence and future integration with Western institutions.

Strengthening Regional Unity
The ministers paid tribute at the Union of Lublin Monument, honouring the historic 1569 agreement that formed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This symbolic act underlined the long-standing cooperation between the three nations.

Speaking on the occasion, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha stressed that the unity among Ukraine, Poland, and Lithuania has historically been crucial in resisting Moscow's aggressive policies. He said this partnership remains essential today as the three nations pursue a shared future in the European Union and NATO, with a vision of a strong and secure Europe.

Sikorski concluded by reaffirming that the Lublin Triangle will maintain its unwavering support for Ukraine as it continues its "heroic fight" for sovereignty and peace.
