Lithuanian drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine stuck in warehouses: the reason named.

Lithuanian drones for Ukraine still not delivered

An interesting situation has occurred with the Lithuanian drones intended for Ukraine - they have still not been delivered from the military warehouses, although they were supposed to be delivered by the end of last year. This was reported by LRT, causing concerns among manufacturers and politicians.

Drone manufacturers are surprised by this situation, as they warned of significant losses that Ukraine may suffer due to the delay in supplies.

The head of RSI Europe, Tomas Milašauskas, confirms that the drones were delivered to the warehouses back in October and November, but have still not been transferred to the final recipient. 'Other companies are also in uncertainty regarding the shipping status of their products,' he added.

The former Minister of National Defense of Lithuania, Laurynas Kasčiūnas, explains this situation as a complex bureaucratic procedure.

'The bureaucracy is such that there are warehouses, the Defense Resources Agency has to formally transfer this to the army, the government has to make a decision on the transfer to Ukraine, and then it has to be sent to Ukraine. This means you must go through each step as quickly as possible,' Kasčiūnas commented.

It should be noted that this situation arose as a result of Lithuania's active support for Ukraine. Recently, Lithuania, together with Denmark and France, allocated 150 million euros for the production of Ukrainian weapons, including missiles, drones, and artillery systems.

Earlier, the President of Lithuania proposed a new standard of assistance to Ukraine to NATO countries.
