Military aid from Lithuania
Recently, Lithuania raised over 8 million euros to purchase military equipment for Ukrainian defenders. The fundraising campaign lasted four weeks.
In October of last year, Lithuania purchased two NASAMS air defense missile launchers for Ukraine, which will help strengthen our country's air defense.
In November, Lithuania announced the transfer of NASAMS missile launchers, necessary equipment, and off-road vehicles to Ukraine's crew. The complexes quickly went on combat duty.
