In August, Lithuania announced a significant military aid package for Ukraine, which includes, among other items, short-range air defense systems, armored personnel carriers, and anti-drone equipment.
Later, Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė said that by the end of autumn, Lithuania plans to deliver over 5,000 drones to Ukraine.
It was also recently reported that Lithuania plans to provide additional aid to Ukraine worth €40-50 million by the end of this year. So far in 2024, Vilnius has already sent aid worth €153 million to Kyiv.
