"We need to support Ukraine by all means. Lithuania is ready to do so, including the handover of lethal weapons to Ukraine," he said in Rukla on Sunday without elaborating on what type of weapons Lithuania could hand over to Ukraine.

"I will not say directly, for now, that's a matter of multinational agreement as several countries are involved, not only the one giving and receiving the weapons but also their producer and supplier," Anusauskas said.

He spoke about Lithuania's readiness to hand lethal weapons to Ukraine during a joint press conference with visiting German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht who came to visit German troops in Rukla.

It was her first foreign visit after she assumed her new position.

The visit came amid Russia-caused tensions in Central and Eastern Europe as it has recently massed some 100,000 troops near its border with Ukraine.
