Lithuania Goes After Ukrainian Who Drove Tank In 1991 Soviet Crackdown

Date: 2021-12  [2]

Thirty years after Lithuania achieved independence from the Soviet Union, it is requesting that Greece hand over a man from Ukraine who was involved in a Soviet military intervention.

Lithuania gained statehood months later and the Soviet Union collapsed.
