Two missiles fell near Lithuania's embassy in Kyiv: one 150m away, the other just ten

The Lithuanian Embassy in Kyiv sustained damage after two Russian missiles landed in close proximity during a nighttime attack on the Ukrainian capital. While embassy personnel were unharmed, the building suffered structural damage, including broken window frames, cracked glass, and a damaged roof with solar panels.

One missile impacted approximately 150 meters from the embassy, while the second landed just 10 meters away. Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis informed allies about the incident and stated that a representative from the Russian Embassy would be summoned to receive a protest note. He emphasized that continued support for Ukraine and increased pressure on Russia through sanctions are crucial.

"There are no signals that there is a desire to seek peace or start negotiations. The Kremlin's goal remains the same – destruction, death, and intimidation," Landsbergis wrote on social media platform X. He added, "The response must be clear – we need to increase pressure on Russia with stricter sanctions and strengthen support for Ukraine."

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda also reacted to the attack, calling it another "brutal Russian ballistic missile strike." He reiterated that "Russian terror knows no bounds" and that Ukraine is defending not only its people but also the security of all of Europe. Lithuania reaffirmed its strong support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and urged allies to enhance their assistance to Ukraine.
