Lithuania plans to provide Ukraine with an additional €40-50 million in aid by the end of 2024, Defense Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas said during a closed session of the Seimas National Security and Defense Committee on Sept. 18, LRT reports.
“Additionally, it will be around €40-50 million this year,” Kasčiūnas told reporters.
Lithuania plans to invest €10 million in Ukraine for the production of Palanytsia drone missiles and provide radars, demining equipment, and short-range air defense systems.
In 2024, Lithuania has already supplied Ukraine with €153 million in aid and will allocate at least 0.25% of its GDP annually for military assistance, about €190 million, according to LRT. Since the war began, Lithuania has provided aid amounting to 2% of its GDP.
