Lithuania raises €6 million for Ukrainian air defence radars in a week - one million more than planned

Earlier this week, a coalition of four initiatives to support Ukraine in Lithuania Lithuania raises €5m for Israeli air defence radars for Ukraine. The goal was to raise 5 million euros. As a result, the plan was even exceeded.

Here's What It Costs

Lithuanian residents managed to raise more than 6 million euros in just one week. The money will be used to buy Israeli-made radars that will monitor the airspace around strategic facilities in Ukraine.

"Lithuania is only 3 million people, but this week we crowdfunded 6 million euros to buy air defence systems for Ukraine. No sign of fatigue here. We will stand with Ukraine until victory is achieved", Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis wrote on Twitter.
