A significant fundraising campaign titled 'Radarom', organized by 'Blue/Yellow', LRT, and 'Laisvės TV', has successfully raised 4 million euros for the procurement of aerial and ground robots for Ukraine.

These auctions add a personal touch to the fundraising efforts, engaging citizens in unique ways and encouraging them to contribute to the humanitarian efforts. Concerts in Vilnius and Kaunas featuring notable artists also took place as part of the 'Laisvė šviečia. Radarom' initiative, creating a vibrant atmosphere focused on solidarity with Ukraine.

One of the organizers, journalist Edmundas Jakilaitis, emphasized the significance of the advanced robotic systems that the raised funds will support, showcasing the importance of modern technology in contemporary warfare. With a few days left for contributions to the campaign until February 28, the initiative underscores not only the financial support but also the commitment of the Lithuanian people to aid Ukraine during this challenging period. As awareness around the anniversary of the invasion grows, these initiatives remind the international community of the continued need for assistance in the face of adversity.
