A convoy of more than 30 vehicles destined for Ukraine’s
military will depart from Kaunas, Lithuania on Dec. 26, according to the
Lithuanian public broadcaster LRT,
citing the International Fund Friends of Ukraine.
Volunteers plan to deliver the vehicles to the Kharkiv,
Donetsk, Kherson, and Sumy Oblasts. The vehicles are loaded with wood stoves,
warm clothing, trench candles, dry rations, and other essential supplies.
The fund noted this is the 11th convoy of aid sent to
Ukraine.
Additionally, a charity hike in support of Ukraine will be
held in Kulautuva, with proceeds benefiting Ukrainians.
“Only because Ukraine is still fighting can we, in
Lithuania, celebrate Christmas in peace and calm. The least we can do is
dedicate one of three days to supporting Ukrainians fighting for freedom,” said
march organizer Nerijus Budrys.
On Nov. 23, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and
Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas signed a memorandum supporting
Ukraine’s Defense Forces. The agreement includes funding for the production of
long-range Ukrainian drones called Palianytsia.
On Nov. 24, Lithuania provided a new aid package to Ukraine,
including generators, spare parts for M113 armored personnel carriers, weapons,
and ammunition.
On Dec. 20, nearly the entire Lithuanian government
delegation visited Kyiv to reaffirm Lithuania’s long-term support for Ukraine.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
