Lithuania raises over EUR 4M for robotic systems for Ukrainian military
As part of the national charity campaign Radarom!, organized by Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT), more than EUR 4 million was raised to support Ukraine's defense.
This is stated on the campaign website, Ukrinform reports.
The campaign lasted from February 9 to 24, and a total of EUR 4,038,695 was raised. Not only Lithuanian residents joined the campaign, but also business representatives - more than 130 companies and organizations supported the campaign with various amounts.
It is noted that the funds will be directed to robotic units that help with logistics and evacuation of the wounded from the most dangerous areas.
The goal of the Radarom! campaign, which has been held for the fourth time, is to strengthen Ukraine's capabilities through solutions that work where human capabilities are limited: robotic defense, logistics, and medical evacuation systems enable faster response times, reduce risks to military personnel, and help save lives.
The Radarom! campaign was organized by LRT together with non-governmental partners supporting Ukraine, namely Stiprūs kartu, Laisvės TV, and Blue/Yellow.
As reported by Ukrinform, Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas announced during his visit to Kyiv that 30 missiles for the RBS-70 portable anti-aircraft missile system would be transferred to Ukraine.
