Lithuanian embassy in Kyiv damaged in Russian missile attack

Aug 1 (Reuters) - ‌Lithuania's embassy ​in ​Kyiv was damaged on Saturday when two ‌missiles landed nearby during a Russian ⁠attack, the Lithuanian foreign ministry ‌said.

There were no injuries ‌from the missiles, but embassy windows broke, solar collectors were ​damaged and the yard was scattered with debris, a ⁠ministry spokesperson said.

One missile landed 10 metres ​from the embassy, the other 150 metres from it, Foreign ​Minister Kestutis Budrys ‌said.

"Today we will summon the Russian embassy representative ⁠to protest", he said in a video statement.

"We understand this ⁠won't stop this madness and aggression against ​Ukraine. What might stop it is continued support to Ukraine, raising its ‌resilience and piling pressure on Russia through sanctions ‌so it finally sits at ⁠the negotiation ‌table", Budrys ​added.
