According to A. Latakas during an appearance on the politics.lt radio show, his group maintains established contacts within Ukraine, including relationships with politicians, members of the Supreme Rada, and various business representatives. Latakas stated that if an opportunity arose to expand operations into Ukraine, they would pursue it actively, asserting that financial constraints are not the primary barrier to entry.
He addressed the broader topic of rebuilding efforts in Ukraine, suggesting that reconstruction responsibilities would most likely be shared among multiple states. Latakas indicated that his organization would be prepared to contribute resources to significant infrastructure projects. Specifically, he mentioned readiness to support initiatives concerning the development of port quays or terminal facilities, should Lithuania choose to contribute to such efforts.
The discussion centered on investment potential within key maritime infrastructure. Latakas expressed particular interest in the possibility of investing in the port of Chornomorsk, located in southern Ukraine. He noted that a competitive process has already taken place regarding this site.
Furthermore, he suggested that the successful model established at Chornomorsk could potentially serve as a blueprint for development at the Klaipeda port. Latakas concluded by signaling an intent to discuss several major topics, moving beyond smaller operational issues, highlighting the scale of potential involvement in the region.
