“There are ways, for example, to borrow money from residents,” the minister said.

According to Armonaite, such ideas are met with criticism.

However, she added, despite this, citizens “have a lot of finances” that could go towards the defense of the country.

As the minister noted, it is better to invest these funds in a “tank” and “not keep it in your sock.”

Earlier it became known that Lithuania will send €15 million to the International Coalition for Demining the Territories Controlled by Ukraine for the purchase of special means and equipment.
