Lithuania has handed over 3 million rounds of ammunition, remote detonation systems, and winter equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.
“Our commitment to Ukraine remains steadfast. When forming our aid packages, we are responding to Ukraine’s key needs and priorities,” Defence Minister Arvydas Anušauskas said in a statement.
“By providing ammunition, remote detonation systems, and equipment for harsh winter conditions, we are tangibly strengthening Ukraine’s resilience against Russian aggression,” he added.
The Lithuanian Armed Forces delivered the new military aid package to the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Wednesday. This follows the delivery of power generators last week and NASAMS launchers at the beginning of the month.
According to the ministry, Lithuania “also provides active training assistance to the Ukrainian military, takes in injured service members for medical care, arranges expert consultations, and contributes financially to international funds of assistance to Ukraine”.
In total, Lithuania has provided military assistance worth around 0.5 billion euros to Ukraine so far, according to the defence ministry.
