Lithuania will invest 10 million euros ($11.04 million) in the development of Ukraine’s long-range strike capabilities.

A range of long-range weapons are being developed by Ukraine to strike deep inside Russian territory, including the Palanytsia rocket drone unveiled last month.

“This is a huge support that will help Ukraine defend itself even more effectively,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said after the inauguration of the Lithuanian-Ukrainian Defense Industry Business Forum in Kyiv.

He added that Lithuania contributed 2 percent of its GDP for Ukraine’s defense and intends to continue supporting Kyiv with an annual contribution of 0.25% of its GDP.
