The Lithuanian Seimas recognized the deportation of the Ukrainian people by Russia/Channel 24 Collage
Lithuanian Seimas recognized the mass export of Ukrainians to Russia as the deportation of our people. The Parliament urged the international community to do the same.
On June 16, the Lithuanian deputies voted for the response resolution. She was supported by 50 parliamentarians.
From aggressive Russia, whether it was 80 years ago or today, we, unfortunately, cannot expect anything new. There are the same crimes against humanity, expulsions. Such a policy is being pursued that can lead individual countries or entire regions to famine or other terrible things, the Lithuanian Conservative Party said.

The document noted that Putin's soldiers deported to Russia or its quasi-republic in Donbas more than a million Ukrainians. Among these people, 200 thousand are children. The invaders are taking Ukrainians out in order to destroy our identity.
Lithuania called on the world to stop the genocide of the Ukrainian people by legal means. In addition, the country advocated that conditions be created for the deported people to return to Ukraine or another safe state.
Also, the Lithuanian Seimas called for bringing to justice those involved in the forced deportation of people.
The Seimas is sure that justice will prevail only when the leaders of Russia and other high-ranking organizers of crimes are brought to justice and direct perpetrators of hostilities and the deportation of the Ukrainian civilian population,” the resolution says.
