11 October 2022 13:16 (UTC +04:00)

We, the Presidents of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia, condemn the mass bombardments of Ukrainian cities recently carried out by Russia, which constitute war crimes under international law, APA reports citing the press service of the Lithuanian president.

We recall that war crimes and crimes against humanity are not subject to any statute of limitations and are covered by the jurisdiction of courts all over the world.

On behalf of our states, we demand that Russia immediately stop attacking civilian targets. We will not cease our efforts to bring to court the persons responsible for today's crimes.

We find any threats by Russian representatives to use nuclear weapons unacceptable. In this context, we reaffirm our commitment to protect our countries and allies.
