Lithuanians raise over €1 million for drones for Ukraine in one week

This is reported by LRT.

It is noted that two-thirds of the funds collected will be used to purchase Lithuanian-made drones and anti-drone systems, while the rest will be allocated to equipment produced in Ukraine.

This year, the campaign will run until February 24. Over the past two years, the initiative has raised 22.8 million euros. With these funds, 17 radars, 69 anti-drone systems, 4 special vehicles for mobile radars, and 1,141 security kits for servicemen have been purchased.

For reference: Radarom! is a charity campaign held in Lithuania to raise funds for the purchase of drones, anti-drone systems, radars, and other defense equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The initiative was launched in 2023. The project is organized by the Lithuanian broadcaster LRT in cooperation with Blue/Yellow, Laisvės TV, Stiprūs kartu, and public figure and journalist Rūta Miliūtė.
