In response to the Russian military offensive against Ukraine, the Lithuanian administration on Monday, April 4, announced its decision to expel its Russian ambassador.

Lithuania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in their statement outlined that the ambassador of Russia to Lithuania will need to leave the country.

The government has decided to shut the Consulate General in Klaipeda in response to the ongoing military offensive against Ukraine at the behest of Vladimir Putin. The decision of the Lithuanian administration comes at a time when the military aggression by Russia has entered its 40th day today.

Lithuania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in their statement revealed that the representatives of the Russian Embassy in Vilnius who had been summoned to the Foreign Ministry have been informed regarding the decision.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabriel Landsbergis asserted that the country has decided to lower the level of diplomatic representation with Moscow. He further added that the ambassador of Russia to Lithuania can return to the country in the near future. Furthermore, Landsbergis underlined that they express full solidarity with Ukrainians who have been suffering for long owing to Russia's "unprecedented aggression."

He also emphasized that Lithuania, in the strongest terms, condemns atrocities committed by Russian armed forces in occupied Ukrainian cities.

'War crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine will not be forgotten': Landsbergis

In the statement, Gabriel Landsbergis mentioned the "horrific massacres" in Bucha and other Ukrainian cities. Furthermore, the Lithuanian Foreign Minister warned that the scenes witnessed by the international community in Bucha might be only the beginning.

He further added that they might see more "horrific examples of war crimes" in other liberated cities. He even asserted that the war crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine will not be "forgotten." Earlier on April 3, Landsbergis condemned Russia's action in Ukraine's Bucha and stressed that they can imagine what could be happening in other occupied regions.

He called on EU to adopt action, adding that purchasing Russian oil and gas is similar to financing the war crimes.

Lithuania not up to Kwara state nor get economic value. Na even bet9ja dey make me know say a country like that exist Everybody wan dey use Russia shine

quote author=BKayy Am I the one that cold will finish in December or buy gas times three the price from Hungarian and Chinese resellers?

Mtcheww... All idiots to their own stupidity. Imagine Lithuania, a country of 63,300 km2 which is roughly the size of Niger state and Oyo shutting the embassy of a country that is actually bigger than the whole of Europe.

Yes, Russia is actually bigger than the whole of Europe like times two.
Europe = 10 million Km2 while
Russia= 17 million km2

I know some of you might wonder out loud that you thought that Russia is part of Europe. Nope, only a small fraction and of Russia is in Europe.
Russia is like a full continent on her own

Igbofam:


I guess you didn't get the memo

Lithuania has disconnected from Russian Gas already. They built their own floating LNG terminal and massive storage.

They now get LNG supplied directly from Norway and USA.

More than enough even that they also supply Estonia and Latvia

Don't worry they will not freeze you hear?

BKayy:

Does USA have enough gas for herself? Lol. Speaking of beggars giving alms to the poor

Igbofam:


USA is actually the highest producer of gas in the world. Much higher than even Russia. So again, don't worry USA has more than enough gas for itself

Instead focus on helping your very passionate levels of lack of knowledge about these things

BKayy:

And that will be put to a test.

You know one thing you should learn? It is to understand what you are trying to talk trash about before celebrating your ignorance.

Igbofam:


Chai I never knew that dumb people boldly display it.

Russia is the largest exporter because USA has been hording

You think US depends on Oil and Gas exports as desperately ad Russia does?

Russia's economy is parasitically alive due to its huge dependence on fossil fuel.

However in terms of which country actually produces more gas USA is King.

Read your own attachment and understand it rather than exposing your own foolishness. I am talking about HIGHEST PRODUCING while you are busy with HIGHEST EXPORTING. Are you high?

BKayy:

It is obvious that your brain is just the output device of Western Propaganda.

When I said that it will be put to test, a reasonable person would have understood that it is time to put what the USA has been brandishing on paper to an actual test but a "gabbage in, gabbage out" like you only resort to expose more of the hidden talent of stupidity in his body.

Atleast you've now known that Russia is the proven largest exporter of gas

Igbofam:


Kai your mumu get serious horn Sha

Here I am talking about HIGHEST PRODUCER and despite typing it in capitals so you can see it, you still somehow missed it

Abeg tell me what HIGHEST PRODUCER has to do with HIGHEST EXPORTER.

Prove your wasted school fees

Igbofam:
Lithuania no send Russia papa at all

Ever since they disconnected from Russian gas they have grown balls of steel men.

BKayy:

My guy imagine oh. All these small small countries want to drag for fish in the soup with the big boys.
Lithuania is not seeing what is happening to the second biggest country in Europe (Ukraine) after Russia?

Russia is not Europe mates at all. Imagine with the small fraction of her landmass in Europe (about 2 million Km2) which is 1/8 of her true size, she is still the biggest country in Europe.
