Quote: "We received a new confirmation from the Lithuanian defence minister on the allocation of €10 million for the purchase of the Ukrainian Palianytsia drone missile," he said.

Background: 

• President Volodymyr Zelemskyy reported that on 24 August, the Ukrainian army had attacked the Russian army for the first time with a new weapon, the Palianytsia drone missile.
• Zelenskyy said that Ukraine's new weapons solutions, including the Palianytsia drone missile, the first use of which he had announced earlier, were a real way for Ukraine to act while its partners were "slowing down" in making decisions.
• The development of the Ukrainian long-range drone missile Palianytsia was completed in eighteen months, with several dozen Russian military air bases falling within its range.
• In August 2024, the Ukrainian defence forces used the Ukrainian long-range Palianytsia drone missile against a military target in the territory of the Crimean peninsula temporarily occupied by Russia for the first time.
