Lithuania has become the third European nation to receive funding under the European Commission's Security, Armament, and Force Enablement (SAFE) program. This initiative aims to bolster the military capabilities of member states through low-interest loans for modernization efforts.

The program makes financing available to 19 countries, with Lithuania joining Poland and Croatia as recipients of these funds. The SAFE initiative is designed to support the modernization of national armies, enhancing their defense capabilities within the European framework.

While the article mentions Bulgaria as one of the participating countries, it specifies that Lithuania, Poland, and Croatia have already secured financing. The program's goal is to strengthen the collective security of the European Union by enabling member states to invest in advanced military equipment and infrastructure.
