September 28, minister of National Defence Arvydas Anušauskas met with Ambassador of Estonia to Lithuania HE Kaimo Kuusk to discuss bilateral cooperation and mutual efforts in support of Ukraine.
"Ukraine is our long-term priority. We are inviting Estonia to join the coalition for demining Ukraine with financial contributions or in equipment acquisition," said A. Anušauskas.
"Demining equipment comes first, then training next," he added.
The concept of the coalition for demining Ukraine will be presented in detail this December. It is planned to be joined by Denmark, Slovenia, Spain, Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Moldova, Slovakia and Sweden. Poland, Iceland, Japan and South Korea have yet to make the final decision.
It was noted that Lithuania became a member of the IT coalition led by Estonia and Luxembourg for strengthening Ukraine's cyber capability.
