The Lithuanian government charged on Oct. 23 that two Russian aircraft, an SU-30 fighter jet and an Il-78 air refueling tanker, flew into Lithuanian airspace from Kaliningrad for 18 seconds and a distance of 700 meters. “This incident once again shows that Russia is behaving like a terrorist state, disregarding international law and the security of neighbouring countries,” said Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene on Facebook, reported Reuters. “Lithuania is safe. Together with our allies, we look after and will defend every centimetre of our country,” she added.
