Russian embassy address changed to 'Ukrainian Heroes' Street'

The address of the Russian embassy in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, has been changed to 'Ukrainian Heroes' Street' to protest the invasion of Ukraine.

"From today, the business card of every employee of the Russian embassy will be decorated with a note honouring Ukraine's fighting, and everyone will have to think about the atrocities of the Russian regime against the peaceful Ukrainian nation when writing this street name," Vilnius mayor Remigijus Šimašius claimed in a statement.

Until now, the Russian embassy had taken its address from nearby "Latvian Street", whose name remains unchanged.

However a hitherto nameless smaller road leading straight to the embassy has now acquired the Ukrainian moniker.
