In Vilnius and Kaunas, ceremonies were held to mark the anniversaries of the Ukraine war, where officials emphasized the profound impact of the conflict on Ukraine's fight for freedom. During the event at Lukiškių Square, Vilnius Mayor Valdas Benkunskas highlighted how every day on the front lines underscores the high cost of freedom. He reinforced that Lithuania's support for Ukraine is rooted in shared values, rather than mere obligation.

One of the key figures at the event, activist Andrius Tapinas, pointed out the ongoing need for support beyond the commemorative activities, emphasizing that the campaign 'Radarom' would conclude on Thursday, but the assistance for Ukraine must continue. The speaker urged attendees to remember the numerous local funds that are continually sending essential supplies to Ukraine, including food and other necessities, and encouraged the community to engage with these efforts.

The events in Vilnius and Kaunas not only serve as a remembrance of the struggle Ukrainians face but also symbolize Lithuania's commitment to standing alongside Ukraine in the fight for democratic values. As fundraising efforts unfold for drone units that support Ukrainian defenses, the strong solidarity between Lithuania and Ukraine is further reinforced, calling upon citizens to contribute to the ongoing humanitarian efforts.
