Lithuanian Ambassador Urges Stronger International Action Against Russia’s Massive Airstrikes
Amid recent events that have shaken Ukraine and stirred international diplomatic circles, Lithuania’s ambassador to Ukraine, Inga Staneit-Tolochkiene, issued a compelling statement calling for intensified global pressure on Russia. She highlighted that following Russia’s large-scale air assault that drew widespread attention worldwide, it is now crucial for the international community to act decisively without delay. According to her, Moscow’s aggression only intensifies, executing record numbers of missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian territory, especially in recent weeks. She emphasized that now is the time for the world to demonstrate maximum unity and resolve to halt the aggressor and support Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty. Source: 'European Pravda' Diplomats report that, based on the latest shelling, Ukrainian military officials documented a record number of drone and missile launches: over 470 UAVs, 46 cruise, and 14 ballistic missiles were fired in a single night. Most attacks targeted Ukraine’s western regions. German diplomat Martin Eger, while refraining from direct comments, shared details about the scale of nightly aerial attacks, noting that around 477 drones and missiles of various types were launched across Ukraine, many aiming specifically at the western areas. Poland traditionally increased its air patrols during the night assault by Russia, with official reports confirming a record number of UAVs and missiles launched during the night of June 29. The situation remains tense, and calls for the global community to act and support Ukraine in resisting Russian aggression are becoming more vocal than ever.
