Blue/Yellow provided Ukraine with nearly €19 million in aid last year

Lithuanian non-governmental organisation Blue/Yellow provided Ukraine with aid worth €18.9 million last year, according to the organisation’s annual report cited by LRT.

Of every euro donated, 95.5 cents went directly to support Ukraine. The majority of the funds came from private individuals (€9.18 million, 48%), followed by legal entities (€6.715 million, 35%) and a 1.2% share of personal income tax allocated by residents (€3.046 million, 16%). Over 35,800 people contributed through this tax mechanism.

For the third consecutive year, Blue/Yellow was the top organisation in Lithuania in terms of funds raised through the personal income tax allocation. Last year also marked the surpassing of €100 million in total donations to Blue/Yellow since its founding in 2014.

“The changing face of war has dictated new conditions—innovation, electronic warfare, and thousands of drones now dominate our reports. What we are most proud of in 2025 is that, despite all challenges, Blue/Yellow has maintained absolute public trust,” said Laura Paukštė, director of Blue/Yellow.

In 2025, the organisation delivered over 5,000 drones, 47,400 units of electrical grid equipment and components, 67,300 medical supplies and medicines, 5,300 drone accessories, 378 anti-drone systems, 835 equipment sets, 608 communication devices, 569 computer equipment units, and 730 generators and batteries to Ukraine.

“Every project we implement, every Ukrainian soldier’s life saved is a shared victory for all of Lithuania,” Paukštė added.

During the summer 2025 campaign “Radarom!” (For Radars!), €5.7 million was raised to purchase critical drones and anti-drone systems for Ukrainian soldiers, including €3.8 million for drones manufactured in Lithuania and €1.89 million for those produced in Ukraine.

Blue/Yellow also carried out 12 volunteer medical missions to Ukraine, involving 18 medical professionals. Fifteen specialised medical devices were donated to Ukrainian healthcare facilities, and 33 Lithuanian doctors received training in wartime medical conditions. In total, 247 Ukrainian military units and organisations received support from Blue/Yellow last year.

“Today, we provide Ukrainian soldiers not just with aid, but with an advantage—from technology to invaluable knowledge. The fight has become even tougher, but our resolve has not wavered. We stand together until the end,” said Jonas Ohmanas, one of the organisation’s co-founders.
