Ukrainian humanitarian cargo arrives in Lithuania

"On September 2, the humanitarian cargo sent by Ukraine for the security needs of the Republic of Lithuania reached its destination and passed all the necessary customs procedures," reads the report.

The State Emergency Service reminded that on August 14, 38 tonnes of Ukrainian humanitarian cargo was delivered. On September 1, Ukraine sent other 48 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Lithuania.

"This is the first and second stages of assistance out of three that Ukraine sends in accordance with a decree of President Volodymyr Zelensky and a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers," reads the report.

The assistance will help strengthening the protection of Lithuania's borders from illegal migrants.

As reported, in late May, Alexander Lukashenko stated that Minsk would no longer detain illegal immigrants trying to enter the European Union through Belarus.
