Lublin Triangle


The Lublin Triangle is an economic, cultural and political format of three European countriesLithuania, Poland, and Ukraine for the purposes of strengthening military, cultural and economic cooperation with one another along with supporting Ukraine's integration in the EU. The countries of the Lublin Triangle have declared their support to the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders and call for an end to the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The Lublin Triangle supports granting Ukraine the status of NATO enhanced partner and state that granting Ukraine a NATO Membership Action Plan is the next necessary step in this direction.
The tripartite format is based on the traditions and historical ties of the three countries. The relevant joint declaration was adopted by the ministers on July 28 in Lublin, Poland. Lublin was chosen as the location as an intentional allusion to the medieval Union of Lublin that created the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest countries in Europe at the time.
