Lithuania to equip Ukrainian forces with cold weather clothing

Lithuanian Defence Minister Arvydas Anusauskas said that Lithuania would help provide 25,000 Ukrainian soldiers with cold weather clothing.

“We will purchase winter clothing from Lithuanian companies for a couple of million euros over the next few months and hand it over to Ukrainian troops, which means that up to 25,000 Ukrainian troops will be provided with winter clothing,” Anusauskas said.

“Currently, Lithuania’s support for weapons and other military equipment is about 209 million euros. Lithuania’s support for Ukraine continues, it is really significant, I will only emphasize that this is not a competition between countries for support, we give what we can give, Ukraine asks for that what she needs,” the minister said.
