A fundraiser is underway in Lithuania to help protect Ukrainian soldiers from threats on the battlefield. The fundraising campaign, which started on January 24, had been given a Lithuanian name - RADAROM! The fundraiser was organized by the volunteer organization Blue/Yellow, public broadcaster LRT, Laisves TV, Stiprus kartu, and journalist Rita Miliute.
The fundraiser will last until February 24. The raised funds will be used to purchase important equipment that will be included in the soldiers' individual kits.
