Ukraine will receive Stinger air defense systems from Lithuania in the next few days, Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte said during a visit to Kyiv, Reuters reported.

Ukraine has received a large amount of military assistance from NATO allies in recent weeks.

"We are increasing the number of military instructors in the country and providing Ukraine with additional weapons and equipment," Simonyte said. "... Stinger anti-aircraft missiles from Lithuania will reach Ukraine in the coming days. I hope and sincerely wish that Ukraine never has to use them."
