Lithuanian Foreign Ministry hands Russian Embassy representative note of protest over Russian shelling of Ukraine
On Tuesday, May 27, the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned a representative of the Russian Federation and handed him a note of protest over Russia's massive shelling of Ukraine.
This was reported by the press service of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry, Censor.NET reports.
"Lithuania strongly condemns the killings of unarmed Ukrainian servicemen and the intensified shelling of Ukrainian cities with missiles and drones. As a result of these attacks, innocent civilians, including children, are killed or seriously injured, and civilian infrastructure is destroyed," the statement said.
The ministry recalled that such actions are considered a war crime and have no statute of limitations, and "all those responsible for these crimes will sooner or later be held accountable for their actions."
"Lithuania also draws attention to the fact that by avoiding the obligation to cease fire for at least 30 days, Russia demonstrates an aggressive attitude to continue the war and essentially diverts the efforts of the international community to stop the killing of Ukrainian citizens. Lithuania continues to do its utmost to support Ukraine's efforts to defend itself against the aggressors," the press release said.
