Lithuania has delivered another military aid package to Ukraine, Lithuania’s Ministry of National Defense reported on Nov. 24.

The aid package included generators, M113 spare parts, weapons, and ammunition, according to the ministry's post on X.

“Lithuania continues its unwavering support for Ukraine,” the ministry said. “Whatever it takes for Ukraine to win. Solidarity remains steadfast.”

Additionally, on November 23, the defense ministers of both countries signed a memorandum in Vilnius to establish a mechanism for supporting Ukraine’s security.

The agreement includes Lithuanian funding for the production of Ukrainian long-range drones.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and his Lithuanian counterpart also reportedly discussed plans to equip Ukrainian brigades, provide ammunition, strengthen air defense, and expand defense industry cooperation between the two countries as "key priorities" for 2025.
