We will also transfer more equipment, systems and weapons needed on the battlefield on a daily basis. Our assistance is an investment in our own security,” stated Minister of National Defence Laurynas Kasčiūnas.

Militarnyi previously reported on the previous military aid package in early July.

A shipment of weapons arrived in Ukraine on July 11. It included ammunition for 5.56×45 mm rifles, anti-drone rifles, and military auxiliary equipment, including folding beds.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Lithuania has provided Ukraine with military assistance worth more than €641 million. Lithuania’s overall support for Ukraine is long-term and has exceeded €1 billion.

As previously reported, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine tested Lithuanian-made FPV drones in conditions as close to combat as possible.

In the near future, taking into account the assessments and proposals of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Lithuanian manufacturers that participated in the tests will be asked to submit final proposals and sign contracts.

To support Ukraine, it is planned to allocate €5 million for the purchase of Lithuanian drones, in addition to the same equipment purchased for the needs of the Lithuanian army (up to €3 million).
