Ukraine and Lithuania agree to jointly produce military drones, EW systems, and ammunition

Ukraine and Lithuania have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish joint production of military equipment, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umierov announced on 4 November 2024.

The Baltic state of Lithuania has one of the strongest supporters of Ukraine, supplying weapons, ammunition, and armored vehicles while pushing for greater EU and NATO backing. The country allocates 0.25% of its GDP (around €190 million) annually to Ukraine’s military aid.

The agreement was signed during Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas’s official visit to Kyiv, Umierov reported. The memorandum involves defense ministries of both countries, Lithuania’s Ministry of Economy and Innovation, and Ukraine’s Ministry of Strategic Industries.

According to Umierov, the agreement covers joint production of unmanned aerial vehicles and their components, ammunition and ammunition components, electronic warfare systems, and the development of advanced technologies.

The signing ceremony was attended by Ukrainian Minister for Strategic Industries Herman Smetanin alongside the two defense ministers.

As part of the international Demining Coalition effort, Lithuania delivered 230 pickup trucks and 240 mine detectors to Kyiv on 4 November during Kasčiūnas’s visit.
