Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys discussed the situation with Belarus with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is refusing to allow Lithuanian trucks to leave its territory and continues to send contraband weather balloons. The politicians stated that Lithuania will continue to take a tough stance, according to DELFI.
