Updated 2025-08-29
On 28 August, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania summoned a representative of the Embassy of the Russian Federation to Lithuania and handed a diplomatic note of protest over the previous night's shelling of Ukraine, which is considered one of the biggest Russian attacks since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The note highlights that residential homes, passenger trains, and children's education facilities have been damaged in the latest shelling, while the number of civilians killed and injured has already reached dozens. Attention is also drawn to the fact that international institutions were among the targets of Russian aggression, with the EU delegation and the British Council buildings in Kyiv suffering significant damage in the strikes.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania emphasizes that all these are yet another series of war crimes committed by the forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, which cannot be overlooked and will not go unpunished. Therefore, Lithuania will tirelessly make efforts that those who ordered and carried out these, as well as previous, war crimes by Russia are brought to justice.
