KYIV - Lithuania's embassy in Kyiv was damaged on Aug 1 when two missiles landed nearby during a Russian attack, the Lithuanian foreign ministry said.
There were no injuries from the missiles, but embassy windows broke, solar collectors were damaged and the yard was scattered with debris, a ministry spokesperson said.
One missile landed 10m from the embassy, the other 150m from it, Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys said.
“Today, we will summon the Russian embassy representative to protest.” he said in a video statement.
“We understand this won’t stop this madness and aggression against Ukraine. What might stop it is continued support to Ukraine, raising its resilience and piling pressure on Russia through sanctions so it finally sits at the negotiation table,” Budrys added. REUTERS
