It should be noted that the fundraising campaign started on January 24 and was named "RADAROM!" in Lithuanian and ended on February 24. This is the second fundraising campaign in Lithuania for Ukraine held within the framework of RADAROM. Last year, the organizers managed to raise EUR 14 million to purchase and deliver tactical radars to Ukraine.
Militarnyi previously reported that Ukraine received a new package of military support from Lithuania. This time, the Lithuanian military delivered and transferred the necessary equipment for the winter season and tens of thousands of sets of warm clothes to the Ukrainian military. The value of the transferred property included in the next military aid package is not disclosed.
It should be noted that Lithuania continues to provide uninterrupted military support to Ukraine and regularly transfers various weapons and ammunition to the Defense Forces.
