This was stated by Argita Daudze, Petras Vaitiek\u016bnas, and Ulla Uibo, during the press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. The three speakers were the Ambassador of Latvia to Ukraine, Ambassador of Lithuania to Ukraine, and the Deputy Ambassador of Estonia to Ukraine, respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <i>Baltic Way<\/i> demonstration on August 23, 1989 was a two-million person human chain linking the three Baltic countries together, and sought to remember the Baltic states\u2019 loss of sovereignty in 1940, said the speakers. In light of renewed Russian aggression against Ukraine, the three embassies of the Baltic states to Ukraine will organize an event on European Square in Kyiv to honor the memory of the \u2018Baltic Way\u2019 and celebrate Ukraine\u2019s European future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Latvian Ambassador to Ukraine Argita Daudze reminded attendants of the press conference that the \u2018Baltic Way\u2019 was a movement to regain the dignity lost after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact resulted in the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states. Daudze said that the event on European Square will both recall the Baltic states\u2019 fight for freedom and show solidarity with Ukraine. The \u2018Baltic Way\u2019 energized all of the people of the Soviet Union, and showed the world that truth can emerge from decades of occupation. Lithuania\u2019s Ambassador to Ukraine stressed that Lithuania\u2019s participation in the event is meant to support the values of \u201cnon-violence, unity and solidarity.\u201d These values are particularly relevant in the face of the Kremlin\u2019s aggression, he said. Deputy Ambassador of Estonia to Ukraine Ulla Uibo added that the unity of Ukrainians in this time is especially important. \u201c25 years ago the unity of the people of the Baltic countries helped us regain our independence,\u201d she said. \u201cToday in Ukraine the unity of the people is important for you to achieve your goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The three diplomats perceive the event as a way for Ukrainians to commemorate the legacy of non-violence and European integration as promoted by the \u2018Baltic Way\u2019 25 years ago. The event on August 23 in European Square will feature the flags of the three Baltic states, as well as a video on the square\u2019s large screen to show the protest\u2019s key moments. Argita Daudze thinks that the event will bring together Ukrainians in support of their country\u2019s European future. \u201cEuropean Square is one of the places in Kyiv where the gathering of many people with the idea of the European future of Ukraine is important,\u201d she stated. The three diplomats stressed that their countries will continue to support Ukraine\u2019s European choice and sovereignty against current threats to its sovereignty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH Kyiv, August 5, 2014.
