The Lithuanian campaign Radarom!, launched in February this year, has united the people and companies of Lithuania to support Ukraine, acquiring over 2,600 drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to LRT, the total amount of assistance raised has exceeded 4.4 million euros, with Ukrainian defenders receiving thousands of drones.

As of now, 2,609 drones have been purchased, and an advance has been paid for an additional 320 Lithuanian drones. A total of 2.6 million euros has been spent on drone production, while 1.7 million euros went towards equipping Ukrainian manufacturers.

"Thanks to the people and companies of Lithuania, we can contribute to the defense of Ukraine, which is the most important thing. Since the campaign began, we have been closely monitoring the process and reporting to the public on how donations are being used. Trust is our highest value, so we are committed to acting responsibly and transparently," said LRT CEO Monika Garbačiauskaitė-Budrienė.

Two-thirds of the total assistance has been allocated to Lithuanian production, while the remainder has been used to purchase Ukrainian drones and equipment. Initially, Ukrainian-made drones were more prevalent due to faster delivery times, but now the results of Lithuanian manufacturers are becoming evident.

The third Radarom! campaign was organized by LRT in collaboration with Blue/Yellow, Laisvės TV, and Stiprūs kartu from February 3 to 24. During this campaign, residents and companies of Lithuania donated over 5 million euros.

It was also reported that starting July 14, a two-month charity campaign called Dronaton will commence in Lithuania, initiated by the NGO Blue/Yellow, aiming to raise 1 million euros for the purchase of drones for Ukrainian defenders.
