"This morning in Kyiv began with a Russian missile attack, a vivid reminder of the brutal nature of this war. The entire Lithuanian government is in Ukraine today to send a clear message — we will be with Ukraine until victory! Together to Victory," Budris said in a video he shot in the capital.

At the same time, Lithuanian Prime Minister Gintautas Palutskas said it was a privilege and honor to be in the Ukrainian capital during his first visit to the country.

"At the Kyiv Wall of Remembrance, together with my Office of Ministers, I bowed to the fallen heroes of Ukraine, men and women who gave their lives for the freedom of their country, and thus for the freedom of Europe," he said in a statement.

As a reminder, a few days ago, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi met with a Lithuanian delegation that arrived in Kyiv. The delegation was headed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, General Raimundas Vaikšnoras.
