#RussianWarCrimes exhibition in Vilnius ahead of #NATOSummit. Grateful to all who attended the event. Since February 2022, 113,000 crimes committed by russia have been recorded. The world must respond in a coordinated way. Our response is to establish a special tribunal. Together

As #Netherlands, #Denmark commit to delivering F-16s to #Ukraine, I will just remind you how our buses looked like during the #NATO Vilnius summit this summer. A lot of people asked for this decision and it is great news that it finally became true. 🇺🇦✈️ #SlavaUkraini

Today, on the occasion of #Ukraine's Independence Day, #Vilnius has decided to show our support. For 547 days, Ukrainians have been fighting for their freedom. That's how many sunflower-stickers decorated Europe Square in Vilnius this morning. #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

Today, Vilnius is illuminated in white and blue in solidarity with the people of Israel. We are bound by history with the Jewish nation and stand together with you during these difficult times.

As President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський reports, Ukraine has recently used ATACMS missiles for the first time. Many allies, including Vilnius, contributed to getting the equipment to the country faster. During the #NATO summit, our city's buses also were a reminder about the vital support.

Congratulations to Anne Lindboe and Eirik Lae Solberg, the Conservative party candidates, on their victory at the mayor elections! I have every confidence in the great work they will accomplish together. Looking forward to continued cooperation between Vilnius and Oslo.

In Vilnius we strongly believe that a city of a country that destroys cultural heritage and slaughters people in Ukraine should not be in the UNESCO network. Vilnius urges UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 to reevaluate shared values as we stand together with our friends in Lviv, Odessa, and Kharkiv. 🇺🇦
