Lithuania's Budrys condemns Russian attacks as violations of international law
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys has stated that Russia's ongoing attacks against Ukraine violate international law and the United Nations Charter. Speaking in the context of the UN General Assembly, Budrys noted the contradiction between Russian diplomatic rhetoric regarding peace and the reality of missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
Recent strikes across Kyiv, Odesa, and the Kharkiv region have resulted in at least 16 deaths and 59 injuries. A specific attack on an agricultural facility in Stara Hnylitsia killed seven people and injured 12 others.
Budrys called on the international community to move beyond mere statements and implement stronger pressure on Russia through sanctions and accountability mechanisms. He specifically urged for increased provision of air defense systems and sustained military, financial, and energy support for Ukraine, particularly as winter approaches.
