As noted, the action ended on the third anniversary of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine - February 24.

This campaign raised 5 million euros from Lithuanian citizens and businesses. However, this is not the final amount, as it will be adjusted after all corporate donations are received.

The funds raised will go towards the purchase of drones and anti-drone equipment made in Lithuania and Ukraine.

Lithuanian businesses and organizations also actively participated in the campaign, donating almost a third of the total collection amount.

During the two previous campaigns, businesses and citizens of the country donated a total of 22,8 million euros. This money was used to purchase 17 radars, 69 anti-drones, 4 special vehicles for mobile radars, and 1 security kits for military personnel.

On February 24, it became known that Lithuania would soon transfer the RBS-70 short-range air defense system to Ukraine.

On the same day, a number of countries also announced aid packages on this day, including, in particular: Sweden, Spain, Norway, Canada, and Denmark.

And European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that in March, Ukraine will receive a new payment of 3,5 billion euros from the EU.
