Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys called for restrictions on Schengen visas and freedom of movement rights in response to Russia's military activities in Ukraine.

Drawing attention to the consequences of the war waged by Russia, Budrys said, “The entry of Russian fighters into the Schengen Area must be banned. Our message is simple: there is no place in Europe for Russian war criminals.”

Emphasizing the contrast between the lifestyle in European capitals and the reality of war, Minister Budrys said, “While your country is waging a brutal war and bloodshed in Ukraine, forget about your sunny European holidays and your Aperol spritz in our capitals.”
