Lithuania has provided Ukraine with further military aid for the fight against Russia. The Ukrainian army has received ammunition and equipment to defend against drones, the Ministry of Defense in Vilnius announced. Folding beds were also handed over. The Ministry of Defense did not disclose the value of the new aid.

Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian war of aggression for more than two years. It is largely dependent on Western support for military equipment.

The EU and NATO member state Lithuania is one of Ukraine's most determined supporters. The Baltic state with a population of around 2.8 million has, according to its own figures, provided military aid amounting to around 641 million euros since the Russian attack.
