Lithuania will contribute EUR 1.2 billion to the Ukraine Assistance Fund, created by the EU, for the purchase of ammunition and military equipment.

Lithuanian Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite said this at a press briefing in Lviv on Saturday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"Both the authorities and the population of Lithuania understand the importance of providing aid to Ukraine. We are ready to provide support, both in the military and civilian spheres, because we realize that you are currently fighting for us. We would like to emphasize that we may be a small country, with a population of three million people, but the amount of aid we provide reaches EUR 1.2 billion. We will make every effort to continue to support you, and we will stand with you until victory," Bilotaite said.
