So good to see this.
On a day like this I couldn't be prouder of Lithuania.
For a month, the people of 🇱🇹, a country of 2.8 million, have raised funds to buy Ukraine multifunctional tactical radars.
Today they're gifting 11 million EUR worth of radars to help 🇺🇦 protect its skies&fight for freedom.

(14,510 posts)Half of my family were murdered by Stalin, the rest were placed under Mother Russia where the occupied Russian soldiers abd families attempted to turn our beautiful cities into pig stys. The Baltic countries have lived under Russian rule and NEVER wish to do it again.

(14,510 posts)Ive lived that history for 76 years and I well understand why the people of Ukraine and the Baltics are fighting to their last breath.
As far as my opinions on any other subject
youre probably better off reading a fortune cookie. But thanks anyway.

These countries know what they face if Ukraine is not the victor in this.

(13,561 posts)fighter jets, which could help end the war. We have stepped up the power of weapons, but air support is desperately needed. Its lack just keeps this war going, with more Ukrainian cities decimated and more thousands dying. How many years must Ukrainians suffer this illegal war? Sanctions are doing nothing to end it. Halfway measures are prolonging the pain.
