Lithuania has provided Ukraine with military assistance totalling over €647 million since the full-scale Russian invasion began. Lithuania's total support for Ukraine is long-term and exceeds €1 billion.

Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė announced a new package of military assistance, including air defence systems and other equipment, expected to arrive in Ukraine by early September.

Earlier this month, Lithuanian-made combat drones were tested in frontline conditions in Kyiv Oblast.

These tests were conducted so that Ukraine could select products that best meet the needs of its military.
