Details: Budrys indicated that Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
"This morning, our train had to pass through a hail of rockets and drones that struck Rivne and Dubno. Just days ago, dozens of people, including children, were killed or injured in the attack on Kharkiv," he noted.
Budrys emphasized that "these are deliberate acts of terror aimed at breaking Ukraine's spirit".
"But Ukraine stands firm, defending not only its territory but also the principles of freedom and democracy in Europe. In fact, Ukraine is defending Europe. Peace cannot be achieved through appeasement. The world must remain united in supporting Ukraine – militarily, economically, and politically," he concluded.
During his visit to Kyiv, Budrys has a series of meetings planned, including with his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Sybiha and Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna.
