Together with six Western countries, Lithuania will purchase air defense capabilities for Ukraine worth €107.5 million ($116.7 million), the country's Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
The move came as part of the 2nd phase of International Fund for Ukraine (IFU) procurements, a joint funding mechanism comprising the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland as well as Lithuania.
This purchase is worth €107.5 million, said Lithuania's Defense Ministry on Twitter.
It also added that the drones bought in the first phase will arrive in Ukraine this summer.
The IFU mechanism was established in March to ensure the continued supply of military support to Ukraine.
