General assistance
The Ministry of Defense explained that the military support provided to Ukraine currently includes various weapons, ammunition, drones, anti-drone equipment, training of soldiers, repair of heavy equipment, and all other support provided following the stated needs of Ukraine.
Lithuania has already developed a plan for long-term support for Ukraine worth 200 million euros over 2024-2026.
Lithuania's assistance to Ukraine
Lithuania has been one of Ukraine's most active allies since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. It provides military assistance to Ukrainian defenders and supports our country's membership in the European Union and NATO.
In January, Lithuania approved a €200 million long-term assistance package for Ukraine. This was announced by President Gitanas Nausėda during his visit to Kyiv.
Lithuania recently allocated 5 million euros to support the reconstruction of schools and kindergartens in Ukraine. Also, in early February, another package of military aid arrived in Ukraine.
