Lithuania: Crowd-Funded Drone Bayraktar for Ukraine

The first Bayraktar fundraising for the Armed Forces of Ukraine took place in Lithuania. It was announced by Lithuanian TV presenter Andrius Tapinas. This initiative received approval from the defense departments of Lithuania and Turkey. Lithuanians collected more than 5 million euros for this purchase in three days. On June 2, 2022, Baykar, the manufacturer of attack drones, announced that it will donate Bayraktar TB2 to the Lithuanian campaign. Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas emphasized that Lithuania will use the collected money to buy the necessary ammunition for the attack drone.

On June 9, the Lithuanian Post Office started selling a stamp with the image of Bayraktar TB2. Half of the money for the purchase of the stamp goes to the accounts of the charity fund "Blue/Yellow" (Lithuanian: Mėlyna ir geltona) for humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
