Lithuanian Customs seize camouflage nets destined for Russia, redirect them to Ukrainian Military Forces Tuesday, October 1, 2024 2:00:00 PM.

Lithuanian customs officers have intercepted camouflage nets destined for Russian armed forces and will redirect them to Ukraine, officials confirmed.

The nets, discovered in a "Kaliningrad — Moscow" train during an inspection, were hidden in seven parcels containing 22 nets in total.

The first shipment of nets was found on a train on September 27: seven packages containing 22 nets.

Another package with two camouflage nets was seized on September 29 at the Kibartai railway post.

The accompanying documents, the customs press service noted, indicated that the nets were intended for camouflaging artillery barrels.

Lithuanian customs believe the confiscated camouflage nets were intended for Russian military forces engaged in conflict against Ukraine. »

Israel's foreign minister declared UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres 'persona non grata' and was henceforth banning him from entering Israel, according to a post on X/Twitter on Wednesday.

"Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil," Katz wrote. »
