Lithuania to Send 412,000 Euro Humanitarian Aid Package to Ukraine

Lithuania is sending a significant humanitarian aid package to Ukraine, valued at 412,000 euros, in response to a request from the Ukrainian government. The shipment consists of essential medical equipment and supplies aimed at bolstering Ukraine's healthcare system during the ongoing conflict.

The aid package includes advanced medical devices such as artificial lung ventilators, patient monitors for vital signs, infusion pumps, and a portable X-ray machine. It also comprises bronchoscopes, disposable syringes, mattresses, pillows, and other necessary items for medical and treatment facilities. This delivery underscores Lithuania's commitment to providing tangible support beyond political backing.

Lithuanian Minister of Health Marija Jakubauskienė emphasized the country's unwavering and consistent support for Ukraine. "We are helping not only politically but also by strengthening the country's health system," she stated. "The shipment of medical equipment and supplies will help treatment facilities ensure patient care under difficult wartime conditions. We have been and will remain with Ukraine for as long as needed."

The Ministry of Health (SAM) noted that Lithuania has consistently provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion by Russia began. Shipments of medical equipment, medicines, and other supplies are regularly dispatched, reflecting a sustained effort to assist the war-torn nation.
