using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=vilnius&hl=ru", true))
{
    XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(sr);
}

The problem is with the encoding. If you use a StreamReader it should detect what encoding the response is in and then allow you to call XDocument.Load.

I would give this a try

WebClient cln = new WebClient();
var str = cln.DownloadString("http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=vilnius&hl=ru");
XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(new StringReader(str));
