Humanitarian efforts, development, and wartime experience: Ukrainian delegation visits Lithuania’s Ministry of National Defence

A delegation from the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted a working visit to the Ministry of National Defence of the Republic of Lithuania as part of the NATO Defence Education Enhancement Programme (DEEP-Ukraine).

During the visit, specialists from the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces of Ukraine held working meetings with representatives of the Military Ordinariate of Lithuania, which oversees the activities of military chaplains in the Lithuanian Armed Forces.

Meetings were also held with officials from the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence units responsible for military-patriotic education of citizens, moral and psychological support for personnel, strategic communications, and ensuring gender equality.

The Ukrainian delegation visited the Lithuanian Land Forces Command, where both sides exchanged experiences implementing key defense policies at both the tactical and operational levels.

Particular attention during the visit was devoted to analyzing Lithuania’s strategic and regulatory documents as a NATO member state, which define approaches to organizing activities in the relevant areas. This will support the enhancement of existing methodologies, programs, and measures to ensure gender equality, moral and psychological support, and military-patriotic education within Ukraine’s defense sector.

The Lithuanian side highly appreciated Ukraine’s experience gained over three years of resisting full-scale aggression.
