“Lithuania’s new military support package for Ukraine includes 155 mm ammunition, vehicles and military rations. The total value of the military support provided by Lithuania to Ukraine will soon reach 450 million euros,” tweeted the Minister of Defense of Lithuania.
Arvydas Anušauskas did not specify how much this assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine will cost, but earlier, the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense said that they sent defense support to the Ukrainian army in the amount of approximately 409 million euros. Accordingly, the cost of the new package may be around €40 million.
