The Lithuanian government has approved a €7 million package to finance four projects aimed at supporting Ukraine’s reconstruction. The Lithuanian government announced this on Wednesday, according to LRT.
The funding covers transport infrastructure, local government capacity-building, energy resilience, and a programme aimed at bringing young Ukrainian professionals back into public service.
The largest single allocation—€4 million—will go toward the second phase of installing solar power plants to improve the energy resilience of Ukrainian schools and hospitals. The plan includes the installation of solar panels, inverters, and battery storage systems at at least 25 facilities. The funding will be provided through a targeted contribution from Lithuania’s state-owned energy company Ignitis Group. The project will last 24 months.
€1 million will be allocated as national co-financing to the Ukraine Transport Support Fund, whose goal is the restoration, repair, and maintenance of civilian transport infrastructure damaged by the conflict.
The fund focuses on small and medium-sized projects aimed at addressing Ukraine’s most urgent needs that are not covered by other international mechanisms. The project will run for 12 months.
Another €1 million will go to a partnership programme between Lithuanian and Ukrainian municipalities. The initiative aims to strengthen local administrative capacity, improve public services, support planning in war-affected areas, rehabilitate children, and help Ukrainian local authorities prepare for EU and other donor funding. The project will last 24 months.
The remaining €1 million will be directed to the Create Ukraine programme, which encourages young Ukrainian professionals to return from abroad and take up positions in central government bodies, supporting reconstruction efforts and Ukraine’s EU integration process. The programme aims to bring 25 young professionals back to Ukraine by 2027 and will run for 20 months.
