Lithuania will allocate at least 0.25% of its GDP to support Ukraine

Lithuania's State Defense Council supported the decision to allocate at least 0.25% of GDP to support Ukraine.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Twitter account of Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda.

"Today, at a meeting of the State Defense Council, we agreed to allocate at least 0.25% of GDP to support the security and defense of Ukraine. Lithuania will continue to stand firm until victory. We will always support freedom," Nausėda wrote.

Lithuania is one of the main allies of Ukraine, which has been supporting Kyiv since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. In particular, Vilnius provides not only financial and humanitarian aid, but also military assistance, for example:

• Lithuania has recently handed over 14 M113 armored personnel carriers as part of the demining coalition;

• in April, it handed over M577 armored personnel carriers, air defense systems, ammunition, and other military equipment and ammunition.
