Details: The transfer of the M113 armoured personnel carriers was initiated by the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces of Lithuania in response to a request of the Ukrainian government towards the allies to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine repel Russian aggression.

Armoured personnel carriers will help the Ukrainian Armed Forces in demining and are a donation from Lithuania to the support provided by the demining coalition led by Iceland.

"The shipment is estimated to reach Ukraine by the end of this week," Lithuania’s Defence Ministry adds.
