    Lithuania announces new military aid package for Ukraine

    Lithuania has announced a fresh batch of military aid for Ukraine - including drones and air defence missiles.

    Prime minister Ingrida Simonyte said the package would help Ukraine "send Russian occupants back to where they belong".

    In a post to X, Ms Simonyte said the aid would consist of "short-range air defence systems and missiles as well as anti-drones, guns, ammunition and equipment".

    The package would reach Kyiv by September, she said.

    Vilnius has also pledged to send around 5,000 Lithuanian-made drones to Ukraine by the end of autumn as well as allocating €35m (£29.6m) to purchase radars and demining equipment.
