Barbed wire for border protection: First part of Ukraine’s aid arrives in Lithuania

“Following President Zelensky’s decision, the first part of Ukraine’s aid arrived to Lithuania. Ukraine and Lithuania will always have each other’s back when it comes to defending the state border. To this end, we have one barbed wire for two of our nations today,” Kuleba posted on Twitter on August 13.

On August 12, Ukraine sent humanitarian aid to the Republic of Lithuania to strengthen the protection of its border from illegal migrants.

In late May, Alexander Lukashenko said that Minsk would no longer restrain illegal migrants trying to enter the European Union through Belarus. In early July, Vilnius declared a nationwide state of emergency in the country. Lithuania was the first to accuse Minsk of “hybrid aggression”.
