Kyiv • UNN
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda stated the country's readiness to provide peacekeeping troops and military equipment for a possible mission in Ukraine. Lithuania's participation in peacekeeping operations will not differ in scale from the mission in Afghanistan.

At the same time, according to Nausėda, it is too early to talk about it, because the "Coalition of the Willing" has only defined its task, which "will be implemented only if peace is ensured."
In other words, it will itself become a guarantor of peace. We are ready to provide peacekeeping troops within the limits allowed by the Seimas mandate, as well as our military equipment. For now, we have only declared this. Perhaps it will happen that, for example, we will not need to send troops, because it will simply be more important to create other opportunities, and perhaps other things will be required of us
He added that Lithuania's participation in peacekeeping operations would likely not differ significantly in number from what they were in Afghanistan.
Recall
Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that Poland would not send its troops to Ukraine as part of possible security guarantees after the war ends.
Estonia is ready to send a military peacekeeping contingent of one company to Ukraine as part of the "Coalition of the Willing."
