He described the contribution as a "strategic investment in Ukraine’s strength" and "in the security of all of Europe."
“Ukraine’s struggle to defend itself is also a defense of freedom for Europe, and Lithuania’s support will continue for as long as it takes for Ukraine to prevail. Our commitment stands firm, resolute, and unbreakable. Lithuania will remain a steadfast ally, ready to contribute in every possible way until Ukraine achieves victory” – Ms. Dovilė Šakalienė mentioned, the Minister of the National Defence of the Republic of Lithuania.
Currently, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, in close coordination with Lithuanian partners, is working on the implementation of the next tranche of another €10 million. The funds will be used to further strengthen the long-range capabilities of the Ukrainian army.
