Lithuania's support for Ukraine
Lithuania is one of Ukraine's main allies, which has been supporting Kyiv since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. In particular, Vilnius provides not only financial and humanitarian aid but also military assistance, for example:
- Lithuania has recently transferred 14 M113 armored personnel carriers as part of the demining coalition;
- in April, it delivered M577 armored personnel carriers, air defense systems, ammunition, and other military equipment and ammunition.
