The Lithuanian government has approved the transfer of fourteen M113 tracked armored personnel carriers to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

This is stated in the message of the Ministry of Defense of Lithuania.

Armored personnel carriers are expected to arrive in Ukraine within a week.

The transferred armored personnel carriers are intended to enhance the demining capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and represent Lithuania’s contribution to the Coalition for Demining led by Iceland.

The goal of the demining coalition is to unite and coordinate existing and future support from donor countries in both combat and humanitarian demining.

The transfer of armored personnel carriers was initiated by the Ministry of National Defense and the Armed Forces of Lithuania.
