Lithuania supports Georgia as a decade passes from Russian aggression

"Lithuania stands by Georgia”, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevicius said in Georgian in his video address released today that was devoted to 10 years since the Georgian-Russian war.

"Russia attacked sovereign Georgia 10 years ago and occupied 20% of the country. It is impossible to treat the wounds of war. It is very difficult to recover sovereignty and territorial integrity but that will come because Georgia is backed and supported by the democratic international community. Lithuania stands by Georgia,” Linkevicius said.
