So proud of my team that never gave up, even in a worst possible situation.

Pirmyn, vilniečiai!

Fitch upgrades #Lithuania to A+ — a major vote of confidence in resilient growth 🇱🇹.
Despite geopolitical tensions and Middle East spillovers, the economy is set to grow 3.1% this year. Strength in uncertain times.

@GodPlaysCards @thinkingwest 89 years later, Austrian monarchy, saved by the Winged Hussars, joined the first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. There is no such thing as gratitude in politics.

@khodorkovsky_en Yes, maybe infection is not their fault. But we will need a quarantine, and a long one.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Right now Kherson is under massive bombardment. FPV attacks have doubled to 600 EVERY DAY. Glide bombs are constant. Entire neighbourhoods are turning to rubble.

Russians are hunting innocent civilians on the streets. Women, children, war crimes in plain sight. They are trying to completely destroy the city. International coverage is almost zero & the situation is catastrophic.

In this report, I embed with a drone patrol that are the city’s first line of defence. What I witnessed was brutality on an industrial scale.

If Russia isn’t stopped, this will spread and Kherson will be a blueprint for cities across Europe in the future. Europe stopped violence like this before in WW2 and it can do it again.

Please watch and share my latest:

Lithuanians tear the Soviet hammer and sickle from the exterior wall of the Seimas at the same moment as deputies inside the building reassert the independence of the Republic of Lithuania, #OTD 1990 🇱🇹

[Vytautas Jokubauskas 🇱🇹 🇪🇺 @vytejok]

For 6 years in a row now more Lithuanian citizens returned home than emigrated abroad. During that period almost 125K citizens came back. That would make them 4th biggest city in LT all on it‘s own.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today in Vilnius.

We deeply appreciate Lithuania’s support, our relations, and, more broadly, the ties of Ukraine and Ukrainians with Lithuanian society. Our security can only be shared – among our states and our peoples. We thank everyone whose hearts are with us, with our people.

🇺🇦🇱🇹

Karaganov, who is one of the key voices of Russia’s foreign policy thinking: Russia must push the United States out of Europe and then crush Europe.

[PermRep of Lithuania to the EU @LithuaniaInEU]

Today, we celebrate 150 years since the birth of M. K. Čiurlionis, a visionary who created timeless music, paintings, poetry, and artistic photography ahead of his time. His endless love for #Lithuania lives on in ~300 paintings, ~400 music compositions, and many other art forms.

[Linas Kojala @LinasKojala]

Russia “pursues peace” by launching 4 missiles & 140 drones at Ukraine overnight.

88 drones were shot down, but strikes still hit 25 sites across 6 regions.

[Radosław Sikorski 🇵🇱🇪🇺 @sikorskiradek]

For the record. Since 1994 Ukraine already has guarantees of independence and inviolability of borders, also from Russia.
In addition, on 22 April 2004 Vladimir Putin solemnly ratified the Treaty on the Russian-Ukrainian Border.
Suffice to respect them and the war is over.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

What message is FM Lavrov 🇷🇺 intending to send when he turns up in Alaska with a Soviet Union T-shirt? He wouldn’t do this just by chance. The Soviet Union was a miserable failure as society and economy.

[Antanas Manstavičius @manstys]

@isengrimm3 @kamilkazani For sure, no doubt about that.

Die Moskau-Korrespondentin verlässt #Russland. Und hat einen persönlichen Text dazu geschrieben. Ihr solltet ihn lesen.
