Appeal to the EU

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kastutis Budrys called on the European Union to designate the Russian GRU as a terrorist organisation. According to him, such a decision could open the way to strengthening financial and other sanctions against this structure.

Previous statements

Budrys had previously expressed this position. In September, he stated that the relevant decision could be made both at the EU level and separately in Lithuania.

Restrictive measures

In the opinion of the Lithuanian minister, designating the GRU as a terrorist organisation would allow for the application of stricter restrictive measures.
