In Vilnius, a memorial service will take place to honor Tadas Tumas, the first Lithuanian soldier to lose his life in the Ukraine conflict, who was killed on February 23, 2024, near Bakhmut when a Russian drone struck the vehicle he was in while transporting mines to the front. The military has announced that a mass will be held at St. Ignatius Church, followed by a procession to the Antakalnis Cemetery where a monument will be consecrated in his memory. Initially, Tumas's remains were not going to be interred due to unfavorable weather conditions, with a decision regarding the burial to be made later by the soldier's family once conditions improve.
