In Lithuania, Public Security Service officers detained a man who was operating a drone in a restricted area near an energy terminal. The drone was flying in an area where the use of unmanned aerial vehicles is prohibited.

According to reports, the incident occurred on August 15, when an unauthorized drone flight was detected in the Lithuanian city of Kupiškis, near a liquid energy products terminal.

A Lithuanian citizen was detained at the scene and explained that he films videos of interesting places in his free time. An administrative case has been opened in connection with this incident.

VST reported this on Friday, August 21, as quoted by LRT.

Lithuania has called for Ukraine to be admitted to the EU by 2030.

Brussels has issued a new statement on Ukraine’s accession to the EU.

On July 22, the EU will again attempt to unblock negotiations on Ukraine’s accession.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized statements by representatives of the Law and Justice (PiS) party regarding a possible blocking of Ukraine’s European integration. He called such calls “idiotic” and contrary to Poland’s interests.

Ukraine has officially opened the sixth cluster of negotiations on accession to the European Union. This is the “External Relations” cluster, which is the last of the six negotiation clusters on the path to EU membership.
