This latest shipment includes millions of rounds of ammunition and thousands of short-range anti-tank projectiles, replenishing vital stocks depleted in the ongoing conflict.

*"Ukraine's urgent requests for assistance resonate deeply with Lithuania,"* stated Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas. *"We remain committed to providing tailored support, aligning with their expressed needs. We urge our fellow allies to join us in standing firmly with Ukraine during this pivotal time."*

Beyond ammunition, the shipment comprises approximately a thousand folding beds, prioritising the comfort and wellbeing of frontline troops. This follows the recent presentation of the first refurbished Leopard 2 tanks, meticulously repaired in Lithuania and ready to rejoin the fight.

Lithuania's cumulative defence assistance to Ukraine now surpasses €500 million, positioning it as a leading military contributor relative to its GDP. This unwavering support comes amidst a temporary pause in US military aid due to congressional considerations.

Other Baltic nations are also stepping up their military contributions. Estonia recently pledged an $88 million aid package, including Javelin anti-tank missiles and essential ammunition, further bolstering Ukraine's defensive capabilities.
