Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas emphasized Lithuania’s responsiveness to Ukraine’s needs: “We hear the urgent requests of Ukraine and continue our support according to the expressed needs. We actively encourage our allies to do the same,” showcasing Lithuania’s role as a proactive supporter and an advocate for international solidarity with Ukraine.

Beyond the supply of military equipment, Lithuania’s support extends to training Ukrainian soldiers, providing medical treatment and rehabilitation, and engaging in expert consultations. This multifaceted approach demonstrates Lithuania’s dedication not only to Ukraine’s immediate military needs but also to the long-term well-being of its forces.

Furthermore, Lithuania has established a long-term support strategy, earmarking a €200 million military aid package for Ukraine for 2024-2026.
