“Lithuania has been a resolute and important safe haven for democratic leaders facing repression in their home countries, including those from Belarus and Russia. While yesterday’s attack on Leonid Volkov was despicable, I am encouraged by the forceful response of the Lithuanian government and President Nauesda to not be deterred and to hold those responsible for this cowardly crime. The U.S. stands in solidarity with its Lithuanian allies and those working for freedom in Russia and Belarus.”
