Lithuania has announced the transfer of 155 mm artillery ammunition to Ukraine.

This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Lithuania on December 4.

The Lithuanian Ministry of Defense also released a photo featuring the loading of ammunition for further shipment.

“We work every day to make invaders run away,” the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense wrote on Twitter.

Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anušauskas announced the transfer of additional ammunition to Ukraine on November 21 after a meeting of the State Defense Council.

“It has been decided on further forms of support, the ammunition needed by Ukraine will be provided,” Anušauskas said.

At least 12 Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzers are currently planned to be repaired in Lithuania for Ukraine. The German-made PzH 2000 self-propelled long-range artillery is actively used by the Ukrainian military in the war against the Russian invaders. Due to the intensity of artillery fire, Ukrainian howitzers need constant quality maintenance.

Lithuania has already repaired six such self-propelled howitzers for Ukrainian artillerymen. The country allocated almost €2 million for the repair of howitzers and software integration. Recently, two German-made howitzers have already returned to Ukraine after carrying out the necessary work.

It became known in mid-September that Lithuania would be repairing the Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzers for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Artillery systems are being restored at Lithuania Defense Services (LDS). Thanks to this enterprise, Ukraine can carry out fast and high-quality service of its PzH 2000 in Lithuania.

Panzerhaubitze 2000 is a German self-propelled artillery system with an autoloading system and a high level of automation of all systems. For firing, these self-propelled guns use separate loading artillery rounds standard in the armies of NATO states. The gun barrel with rifled channel is 52 calibers long. The ammunition package consists of 60 shells and 228 modular propellant charges. The range of firing with standard ammunition reaches 30 km.

As previously reported, Lithuania will hand over winter uniforms for approximately 25,000 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
