Lithuania calls for increased pressure on Russia
The Lithuanian Foreign Minister emphasised that the latest strike on the Ukrainian capital demonstrates Russia’s lack of intention to cease its campaign of terror against the civilian population.
"There are no signs of any genuine willingness on Russia’s part to end its campaign of terror against Ukraine. The answer is clear: to step up pressure on Russia through tougher sanctions and to step up support for Ukraine," Budris emphasised.
