Details: Lithuania has joined the German initiative Immediate Action on Air Defence. This initiative is aimed at strengthening Ukraine's air defence.
Pistorius noted that the supply of six AMBER-1800 radar systems associated with the initiative is Lithuania's contribution to saving lives in Ukraine.
"I also thank you for participating in our air defence initiative," the minister said, addressing Kasčiūnas.
Background: In April, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis stressed that it was necessary to provide Ukraine with the assets to strengthen its air defence.
On 13 April, Germany announced the urgent transfer of one Patriot air defence missile system to Ukraine.
