Motivation
The Create Lithuania’s idea to form Ukrainian–Lithuanian teams and cover projects dedicated to Ukraine matched my desire to bring my knowledge and effort to one of the most actual topics for all Ukrainians nowadays: the rebuilding of Ukraine. With that motivation, I plan to research on the scope of Lithuanian effort in that process aiming to find the best impact solutions.
