“A rocket struck just a few meters from the embassy building. Fortunately, the staff were unharmed. Today, the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will summon the Russian representative in Vilnius.
Russia’s terror campaign against Ukraine continues without limits. There are no signs indicating a genuine desire to stop it, seek peace, or enter negotiations. The Kremlin’s goal remains the same: destruction, death, and intimidation.
The response is clear: increase pressure on Russia by tightening sanctions and strengthen support for Ukraine,” the Lithuanian minister said on the social network “X”.
The rocket fell near the embassy fence
His spokesperson Kristina Belikova stated that the rocket fell near the embassy fence.
“Several windows were broken, the roof and the solar panels on it were damaged. The yard is full of shrapnel and dug-up earth. The damage is still being assessed, the staff were unharmed,” said the minister’s spokesperson.
According to K. Belikova, a protest note will be delivered to the Russian representative.
Nausėda condemned it
In turn, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda condemned the attack that damaged the embassy on the social network “X”, emphasizing that “Russian terror knows no bounds,” and Ukraine is defending not only its people but also the security of all Europe.
