In Lithuania, the Blue/Yellow organization, together with former President Dalia Grybauskaite, launched the Wishes from Lithuania campaign to raise funds for drones for Ukraine, according to LRT.
It is noted that the campaign will continue throughout the summer. Its goal is to purchase and send as many Lithuanian-made or Lithuanian-assembled drones to the frontline in Ukraine as possible.
It is also interesting that the patron of the campaign is former Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite. She emphasized that "Ukraine - our common front, where each of us can become a sore fist to the aggressor."
"Let's send our Lithuanian drones into battle to fight the enemy on our behalf. I would fight for life, for victory, for the future." Grybauskaite said.
In addition, anyone who donates 500 euros will have the opportunity to send a personalized drone to Ukraine with a greeting from Lithuania.
"In the first half of this year alone, we bought and sent more than 2000 different drones to Ukraine, from small FPVs to large and special mission drones. Of course, this is not enough, so we aim to add at least a few hundred more drones this month," says Laura Paukšte, Director of Blue/Yellow.
Lithuania's support for Ukraine
Lithuania is one of Ukraine's main allies. In particular, Vilnius recently transferred 14 M113 armored personnel carriers as part of the demining coalition.
