Visited Ukraine’s jewel, a #UNESCO World Heritage site. Kyiv-Pechersk #Lavra is part of shared 🇱🇹-🇺🇦 heritage, tied to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania & the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Unable to claim it, russia tries to destroy it — repeating its own crime of 1941.

Today is Mega-Monday for EU enlargement.

First, Ukraine and Moldova will take their biggest step since the decision to start EU accession negotiations in 2023.

We will also close two more chapters with Montenegro, bringing it close to half of all chapters closed.

It’s a day to celebrate. I’ll also use today to urge candidates to continue the pace of reforms.

The USSR regime claimed millions of innocent lives. The first mass deportation of Lithuanian residents took place on 14-19 June 1941. Around 17K innocent people were deported from Lithuania to Siberia – most of them were women & children. Many never returned home.

[Kęstutis Budrys @BudrysKestutis]

Russia is trying to mask gaps in its air defense with propaganda and lies.

Accusations and threats toward the Baltic states are a desperate #Kremlin’s attempt to divert the attention from its failures in #Ukraine.

@POLITICOEurope

[Kęstutis Budrys @BudrysKestutis]

We have just witnessed one of the most horrific nights in recent years in #Ukraine, as Russia deliberately shelled Kyiv, as well as cities in the Dnipro, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Sumy, and Khmelnytskyi regions, using hundreds of drones and missiles.

Deliberately targeting civilians, the strikes hit apartment buildings, shopping centres, markets, dormitories, schools, universities, and warehouses. The continued commission of war crimes against Ukraine is not an act of strength; on the contrary, it is a disguised sign of the aggressor’s weakness and desperation.

It is difficult to find the right words to respond to such a complete denial of humanity. But 🇺🇦 does not need our words - it needs our actions. We have the necessary tools to force Russia to stop its war of aggression. Failure to fully use them is a clear encouragement for the war to continue.
