Lithuania handed over 4.5 million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine on Friday, the Defence Ministry said.
Lithuania’s military aid provided to Ukraine by this autumn includes Mi-8 helicopters, L-70 anti-aircraft guns with ammunition, M113 armoured personnel carriers, millions of cartridges, and grenade launcher ammunition.
NASAMS missile launchers, anti-drones, logistical equipment, and other support equipment will also be transferred to Ukraine shortly.
Also, Lithuania has been training Ukrainian soldiers, providing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and expert advice, as well as contributing to international funds for assistance to the country which is fighting against Russia’s military aggression.
Lithuania’s assistance to Ukraine since the start of the large-scale military invasion has reached 0.5 billion euros and is set to continue, with a 200-million-euro military aid package planned for 2024-2026, the ministry said.
Lithuania’s total support to Ukraine amounts to more than 1 billion euros, or more than 1.2 percent of its GDP, with military aid making up half of the amount.
