Lithuania’s “Radarom!” Campaign Delivers 2,600 Drones to Ukraine
The Lithuanian solidarity campaign “Radarom!” has successfully delivered over 2,600 drones to support Ukraine’s Armed Forces, as part of a broader effort that continues to unite Lithuanian citizens and companies in defense of Ukraine.
The Gaze reports this, referring to LRT.
The initiative has raised more than €4.4 million since its launch in February. Thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have since been supplied to Ukrainian defenders, with additional orders and investments underway.
In total, 2,609 drones have already been delivered, and an advance payment has been made for 320 more Lithuanian-manufactured UAVs.
Of the total funds raised, €2.6 million has gone toward the production of Lithuanian drones, while €1.7 million has been allocated to purchase equipment for Ukrainian drone producers.
“Thanks to the people and businesses of Lithuania, we can make a real contribution to Ukraine’s defense, and that’s what matters most,” said Monika Garbačiauskaitė-Budrienė, Director General of LRT. “From the very beginning, we’ve maintained transparency, regularly updating the public on how donations are used. Trust is our greatest value, and we are committed to acting responsibly and openly.”
Roughly two-thirds of the campaign’s resources have supported Lithuania’s domestic drone production, with the remainder going toward Ukrainian-made drones and related gear.
Initially, drones from Ukrainian manufacturers were prioritized due to faster delivery times, but the impact of Lithuanian production is now clearly visible.
The third installment of Radarom! ran from February 3 to 24 and was organized by LRT in collaboration with Blue/Yellow, Laisvės TV, and Stiprūs Kartu. During this period, Lithuanian residents and businesses contributed over €5 million.
As The Gaze reported earlier, following the EU’s approval of its 18th sanctions package against Russia, Lithuanian FM Kęstutis Budrys has called on U.S. lawmakers to pass a corresponding bill targeting Moscow’s war economy,
