It's in human nature to protect children, yet this doesn't apply to russia. Since 2022, russia killed, wounded, deported, and even sexually abused thousands of children in Ukraine. Do we really need bigger numbers to finally take measures?

If russia wanted peace, they'd leave Ukraine. Instead, they sabotage any real peace efforts. Its upon international community to pressure russia into ceasefire and then peace.

The Soviet crimes were most cruel, and the names of those who suffered must not be forgotten. Children, women, men – the Kremlin never cared. As Europe finds its renewed strength at the face of the adversaries, sharing the pain of the past can bring us together in our values.

Together with my Lithuanian colleague and Ukraine’s brave friend Kęstutis Budrys we visited Kherson and the region. Kestutis became the first foreign minister to visit the city since its de-occupation in autumn 2022. This is a powerful sign of solidarity with our people amid

The Nordic-Baltic Eight (🇩🇰 🇪🇪 🇫🇮 🇮🇸 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇳🇴 🇸🇪) is gaining recognition as a significant player in European security. The @Guardian notes: since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, NB8 countries “have wielded growing influence as a pressure group for western resolve”.

A group of Ukrainian children has been rescued from Russian-occupied territories and Russia itself. Their return was made possible through the Bring Kids Back UA initiative and the dedicated efforts of the Save Ukraine team. 🔹 Among them is 9-year-old Alina, who was forced

The USSR regime claimed millions of innocent lives. One of the first Soviet terror operations took place on 14-18 of June 1941, when almost 18k innocent people were deported from #Lithuania to Siberia – most of them women & children. Many never returned home.

The day of Mourning and Hope. Mass deportations were among USSR tools of repression. Innocent people from occupied countries were falsely titled as "enemies of the people" and deported. The majority of the deportees from Lithuania were women and children. Kremlin knows no peace.

On June 15 in 1940, the USSR occupied Lithuania. The USSR did not care about international treaties. Deportations, murders, and terrors followed for the next 50 years. Russia took on USSR's legacy, waging wars against its neighbours, yet to be contained.

To hamper russia’s war economy, more needs to be done. EU sanctions can close the door AND block the keyhole, but nations should have more authority to close loopholes. Read more: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Hate can start wars, like #russianWarCrimes started as #HateSpeech. Kremlin's narratives dehumanised Ukrainians, and motivated russians to commit atrocities against them. Hate has nothing to do with freedom of speech. We must use the tools we have to stop the hate that sows wars.

The list of #russianWarCrimes against Ukraine is endless. Sexual violence is used as a weapon of war by russian soldiers with no accountability. Moral standards & international law is not a matter of choice. It‘s an obligation of intl' community to hold aggressor accountable.

Every day, Russia uses drones to identify, track, and drop explosives on Kherson’s civilians. UN confirms: these attacks are war crimes and crimes against humanity. #RussiaIsATerroristState – those responsible must be held accountable and face justice.

Russia aims to empty Kherson by terror. Videos of these attacks are posted on Russian Telegram channels, often with mocking captions and threats. There are no limits to this depravity. The world must hold Russia accountable and help Ukraine defend itself.

How Russia Weaponized Migration Against the West When people think of Russian disinformation, they often imagine bots praising Vladimir Putin, conspiracy theories about secret underground NATO biolabs, or memes defending the invasion of Ukraine or making fun of Western leaders.

We couldn't agree more - we need to continue our shared work against the disinformation industry of key FIMI players, such as Russia and China.❤️

It's life-shattering to leave your home as a war refugee. #russianWarCrimes and ongoing atrocities forced millions of people of Ukraine to flee. Lithuania made sure to provide them easy access to residence and other essential care. Yet, the aggressor must face the consequences.

NATO Audience Research shows for many years now: Lithuanians remain the most enthusiastic supporters of NATO membership and the Allies. #StrongerTogether means safer tomorrow.
