The Russian drone attack on Odesa is an absolutely horrific murder of Ukrainians. There should be immediate consequences for Russia, states the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis.

"This is absolutely outrageous murder. By deliberately killing babies in their sleep, Russia is declaring a clear contempt for any peace agreements, past or future. There must be serious and immediate consequences, not continued impunity," the Lithuanian minister emphasized.
