Following the inclusion of Kaunas' modernist architecture on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the municipality of Lithuania's second-largest city says that maintenance and protection of the area "will become more effective, not stricter"

The government hosted an event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of country's accession to the EU with former Lithuanian chief negotiators as well as politicians, diplomats, civil servants and experts; Lithuania joined the bloc on 1 May 2004

The infrastructure design of the Kaunas passenger station area will be carried out by Spanish company Ardanuy Ingenieria under a contract worth 9,88 million euros; the project is an integral part of the new European Rail Baltica Kaunas node

The country will buy 3.000 drones for Ukraine and allocate €15 million for rehabilitation programs for the wounded; it will also allocate €5 million for education and €12 million to help veterans, rebuild schools and kindergartens, and organize shelters

"Let's give a home to returning birds and wings to Ukrainian soldiers fighting" is the motto of a campaign to support Ukraine, bringing together Latvians and Lithuanians to raise funds for drones by painting birdhouses
