Five Russian nationals are receiving medical treatment in Lithuanian hospitals after a bus accident near the country’s western border. The information was confirmed by the Russian Embassy in Vilnius, which has been closely monitoring the situation and coordinating assistance for those affected. The embassy stressed that all available support is being provided to ensure the victims receive the care they need.
The incident involved a bus traveling from Riga to Kaliningrad that veered off the roadway on Monday in the Lithuanian border region. Reports indicated that out of 47 passengers, 26 were taken to medical facilities. Among those hospitalized were several minors, highlighting the seriousness of the crash as described by Delphi, a portal that covers rescue operations and public safety matters.
According to the Russian Embassy, five Russian citizens remain in Lithuanian medical institutions. Diplomats are actively involved in facilitating healthcare access and necessary resources for the injured. In addition to monitoring medical needs, the embassy noted that Russian officials assisted two of the victims in returning to the Kaliningrad region. The remaining Russian travelers continued their journey on a spare bus after being accounted for at the scene.
The Lithuanian authorities have pledged support for the Russian citizens injured in the traffic incident. The Kaliningrad regional government said it is coordinating with the Russian Embassy in Lithuania to confirm all details of the event and ensure that every possible form of aid is provided to those affected. This cooperation is aimed at expediting medical care, arranging transport, and addressing any other needs identified by the victims and their families.
Earlier in Kamchatka, a tourist shuttle experienced a shift, drawing attention to another transport-related incident within the region. Authorities stressed the importance of safety protocols in all travel operations and promised continued oversight to prevent similar accidents in the future. The unfolding situation continues to be tracked by regional and national authorities, with additional updates expected as information becomes available.
As this event develops, officials reiterate that emergency services and diplomatic channels remain active to support those impacted by the crash. The incident underscores the necessity of rapid medical response, cross-border cooperation, and clear communication with families and partners involved in international travel.

The overall goal is to stabilize the health situation of all victims and to restore normal travel arrangements for those affected later in the process.
