Lithuania transferred radar equipment to Ukraine

The Lithuanian Navy handed over radar equipment to Ukraine. The Lithuanian Defense Ministry reported that the kits were handed over to the Ukrainian Navy. Radar equipment kits are designed to provide maritime surveillance and develop the ability to understand the marine environment.

This equipment was transferred with consideration of the needs and requests of the Ukrainian Navy. "For war-torn Ukraine, these radars will be important both to protect its territorial waters and to ensure the safety of its citizens," Arvydas Anusauskas, Minister of National Defense, said.
