Statement of the MFA on the death of Honorary Consul of Lithuania in Luhansk
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania announces with deep sorrow that the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Lithuania in Luhansk and Ukrainian businessman Mykola Zelenec was murdered by the unknown criminals and extends its heartfelt sympathy to the family of the victim.
Several days ago he was kidnapped by armed terrorists, taken in the unknown direction and shot dead.
We lost a sincere friend of Lithuania, an active supporter of Lithuanian-Ukrainian cooperation who had a lot of plans for the development of cultural and business relations between the two countries.
We condemn this crime and we believe that it will be investigated and those who are responsible for it will be found and held accountable.
