the diplomat said.

With its plans to demolish the country's largest memorial to Soviet soldiers at the Antakalnis cemetery in Vilnius by November 1, Lithuania crosses all red lines, he added.

“Destroying grave monuments is an outrageous evil, it is absolutely unacceptable,” Ryabokon emphasized.

Russia will not leave these acts of state vandalism unanswered, he said.

“We are not alone, a number of countries that were part of the anti-Hitler coalition are ready to support our position,” he added.

The memorial complex at the burial site of Soviet soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War is being dismantled in the capital of Lithuania at the Antakalnis cemetery until November 1.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said it would take action in response to the demolition of monuments in the Baltics.
