Lithuania's position on the war in Ukraine
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Lithuania has been actively assisting Ukraine. In addition to financial and humanitarian support, Vilnius has also been providing military aid. The country supports imposing sanctions against the Russian Federation and integrating Ukraine into the European Union (EU) and NATO.
In May, Lithuania joined the coalition to strengthen Ukraine's air defense and allocated $14.48 million to purchase radars.
In June, it was also announced that Vilnius will transfer 14 M113 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine as part of the demining coalition.
