Lithuanian Defense Minister handed over another consignment of military aid to Ukraine

42

Lithuania continues to supply the Ukrainian army with personal protective equipment. Another batch of body armor and tactical belts arrived in Ukraine together with the Minister of Defense of Lithuania Arvydas Anushauskas.

The Lithuanian minister personally brought to Ukraine the long-awaited cargo, which was expected in the Ukrainian Armed Forces back in September. It was at that time that Vilnius announced the provision of "military assistance" to Kiev, announcing the imminent transfer of body armor and tactical belts to the Ukrainian military. At the same time, it was announced that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would receive 490 body armor and the same number of belts worth 677 thousand euros. But, as the Lithuanian authorities emphasized, the Ukrainian military will receive all this completely free of charge.



Anushauskas announced the transfer of military property on his Twitter page, noting that this is the first part of military aid to Ukraine from Lithuania. When the second comes and what it will include, there is no information yet. The Ministry of National Defense of Lithuania stressed that they are providing assistance to Ukraine at the request of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.

By the way, this is the second batch of personal protective equipment donated by Lithuania to Ukraine this year. The first consisted of about 700 body armor, it was transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by July 1.

The Lithuanian Minister of Defense did not forget to visit the Lithuanian military instructors who train the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, Lithuania is helping to train the Ukrainian military according to "Western standards", and the goal of this is "a sovereign, free and stable Ukraine."

Note that Lithuania was the first to start providing military assistance to Ukraine in 2014. Vilnius has repeatedly supplied the APU with small arms weapon and ammunition of Soviet calibers removed from the armament of the Lithuanian army after joining NATO and the transition to Western standards. In addition, Lithuania receives on its territory the Ukrainian military for rehabilitation, and the Lithuanian military instructors conduct training for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

          There is also a formula about "poor relatives", but I will write about it later.

      Interesting logic. American thermobaric weapons are normal, Russian ones are not.


      And the helmet of the Ukrainian guarantor is some kind of clown. A helmet from the Second World War in my opinion looks more solid.

          We won the tender for the supply lol Compared to the amersky armored vehicle, $ 700 is a price tag of nothing. And the viewers do not care - they ask for 700, not expensive, we will pay. And everyone is good. NATA is not a war, these are traders in the first place.

        As I understand it, it is not necessary to read the article? There it is written in black and white
        But, as the Lithuanian authorities emphasized, the Ukrainian military will receive all this completely free of charge.
        Sharavarniks are either given everything for free, or with scanty loans like the British. Dear, you need to read the article right away, preferably in full, and then draw conclusions and write.

    Lithuania is chic ...
    As far as I remember, great Lithuania is in a clinch with China. China removed this "power" from the customs list of countries altogether. Now there is no such country for the Celestial Empire.
    But the Lithuanians are always on the front line in the fight against the terrible Russia! Urrraaaa! I don't know how it sounds and is written in Lithuanian.

      For this reason, it is the advanced one, that it is necessary to bear losses while the "senior" comrades observe this ... China, Russia, Belarus ...
      In case of loss of Belaruskali's cargo, Lietuvos geležinkeliai will need subsidies of € 49 million annually. This was stated by the head of the company Mantas Bartushka, BNS reports. “According to updated estimates, if from January 1 we stop transporting Belaruskali fertilizers, we may need subsidies in the amount of about 49 million euros, because we are already performing a lot of actions: optimizing processes, employees, and stopping certain investments. The fact is that the influence is very great, ”Bartushka said at a meeting of the budget commission of the Seim.
      According to preliminary estimates, the railway company will lose about 60 million euros in revenue annually. “In general, we are losing 60-70 million euros of income, but at the same time we have other negative trends - Russian metals are also leaving the Klaipeda port, there are fewer other Russian products, part of Belarusian products, oil products, Grodno Azot products have already left”, - said the head of Lietuvos geležinkeliai.

      Good. Most likely, the conversation is about RPD - temporarily shoulder system. .Although, now the armor is sheathed with "molly". You can hang all sorts of handbags and pockets on it for shops and first-aid kits and the rest of the crap.

    Minister as a supplement to help? Interestingly, the bulletproof vests are serviceable, otherwise the previously supplied cartridges turned out to be rusty and they needed to be disposed of. Lithuania is diligently rendering all possible assistance to Ukraine, "fighting the Russian hordes", neglecting its safety from the invasion of the same hordes. Is this not European "solidarity" that allows the Ukrainian side to shout that "the whole world is with us." The tribals, Poland and Ukraine are the forces that will save Europe (sarcasm).

      Why do Russians love Ukrainians? It was not the Russians who rode on the Maidan to the well-known chants about Muscovites, etc. And reasoning about the so-called. normal Ukrainians are not accepted in this case. We would be normal, would not allow today's war and chaos.

With its calls m ... y for knives, m ... ku for gilyak and other, similar screams, the neighboring country has turned into a kind of fool in the village, whom they do not notice, or whom he did not slaughter.

      Why are you lying, Russians do not like Ukrainians, but Bandera riffraff. And to such Ukrainians as Kovpak, Vershigora, Kozhedub and many hundreds of thousands of those who died and survived in the Second World War who fought against the Ukronazis, as well as scientists, engineers, etc. are very brotherly. And Donbass as an example to you.
