On 5 April, Ukraine received M577 armoured personnel carriers from Lithuania.

This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to LRT.

"Continuity of support for Ukraine is our strategic goal.

We will continue to support Ukraine as long as necessary," said the Minister of National Defence of Lithuania, Laurinas Kasciunas.

Help from Lithuania

As a reminder, the Lithuanian Ministry of Defence plans to allocate €2 million to purchase about 3,000 FPV drones for Ukraine.

Lithuania also handed over 36 systems to Ukrainian soldiers to combat Russian drones during a conference on demining.

The Lithuanian government is providing EUR 35 million for the purchase of artillery ammunition for Ukraine as part of a Czech initiative.

In total, Lithuania has allocated almost 1.5% of its national GDP to help Ukraine.
