Defence ministers of Lithuania and Ukraine also discussed preparations for the upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius and Ukraine's progress in reforming the military training system.

Background: Previously, it was reported that Lithuania had announced its decision to buy two NASAMS launch systems for Ukraine.
