The Radarom charity campaign set up in Lithuania has raised EUR 14 million for military radars for Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

This is stated on the campaign website, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Thank you! We raised 14 million euros during the campaign. Let's not stop at this," the website states.

The fundraising campaign lasted from January 30 to February 24 with the support of five high-profile Lithuanian public organizations. "The funds collected during the campaign were used for the purchase of multifunctional tactical radars. The purpose of the radars is to monitor the airspace around Ukrainian strategically important sites, such as power plants, water supply points, etc. They should help ensure Ukrainians live as normal a life as possible in winter," the organizers explain.
