President of Lithuania
As the Lithuanian leader emphasized, despite this, he cannot ignore the fact that Russia's actions, its destructive behavior will now force almost every plane crash to be viewed through such a prism.
That is why the official Vilnius will also consider this tragedy as a consequence of the probable intervention of the Russian special services.
The investigation is ongoing and is being conducted by professionals. I have no doubt that everything will be resolved in detail. We are and must be ready for any situation. We do not know what the outcome of the investigation will be, but it is clear that we will never panic or make decisions that are not based on facts. Let's trust the authorities and the officers, Nauseda urged.
