"The investigation is still ongoing and is being carried out by experts in their field. I have no doubt that everything will be clarified and clarified in detail," Nauseda had stated before his visit to the accident site. The Lithuanian head of state emphasized the need to be prepared for all possible situations: "We do not know what the conclusions of the investigation will be, but it is clear that we will never panic and make decisions that are not based on facts."
