Details: Lithuania's Armed Forces noted that Vaikšnoras made a statement during a visit to Ukraine after a meeting with Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the AFU.

"The Lithuanian Armed Forces will continue to train Ukrainian servicemen in Lithuania and in the international formats of Interflex and EUMAM. We will continue to support the treatment and rehabilitation of wounded servicemen in military medical facilities," he said.

Vaikšnoras stressed that Lithuania will cooperate with Ukraine in the supply and coordination of military support, such as unmanned and anti-drone systems, artillery shells, integrated air defence systems, etc.

LRT reported that Vaikšnoras had met with the AFU leadership, visited a training centre for unmanned systems, and toured a company-sized stronghold near Kyiv, which was a key element in the capital's successful defence during the early stages of the large-scale war.

One of the main objectives of the visit was to establish connections regarding lessons learned, particularly in fortification construction, and to gather best practices from Ukrainian soldiers.

Background: 

• Recent reports indicated that 30 Ukrainian instructors from recruit training centres are set to receive additional training in Lithuania the following year.
• A convoy of 19 vehicles has departed from Latvia to be delivered for the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces.
