"I am pleased to announce that Lithuania is joining the air defense coalition led by Germany, France and the United States. We will do our part by providing Ukraine with mobile air surveillance radars. Military support for Ukraine is crucial. Ukraine needs weapons, not promises. We will confirm our words with deeds", he wrote.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to this decision by Vilnius and thanked Lithuania.

"Lithuania's contribution is very valuable for us. The rapid strengthening of Ukraine's air defense is the key to countering Russian aggression, protecting our people and defending our frontline positions. I am grateful to Lithuania for its help in this", the Ukrainian leader emphasized.
    • On May 29, the Lithuanian government approved the purchase of €13.5 million worth of air surveillance radars as part of a German initiative to strengthen Ukraine's air defense.
