Lithuania sends Ukraine new package of military assistance

Lithuania has provided Ukraine with loaders, anti-drone systems, and folding beds for its military.

As reported by the Lithuanian Defence Ministry, the aid package arrived in Ukraine on August 28.

According to the Lithuanian Ministry of Defence, Lithuania has already delivered 155-mm ammunition; M577 armoured personnel carriers; M113 armoured personnel carriers; anti-drone systems; winter equipment and warm clothing sets; ammunition for the Karl Gustav anti-tank grenade launchers; remote RISE-1 blasting systems; generators; spare parts for light attack aircraft L-39ZA Albatros; loaders; trailers; clamshells, and other equipment.

Lithuania has provided Ukraine with military assistance totalling over €647 million since the full-scale Russian invasion began. Lithuania's total support for Ukraine is long-term and exceeds €1 billion.

Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė announced a new package of military assistance, including air defence systems and other equipment, expected to arrive in Ukraine by early September.

Earlier this month, Lithuanian-made combat drones were tested in frontline conditions in Kyiv Oblast.

These tests were conducted so that Ukraine could select products that best meet the needs of its military.
