The government's decision provides for the redistribution of 8.5 million euros from the "State Defense and Security Fund" program to the "Maintenance of National Armed Forces" subprogram to ensure the procurement of mines without exceeding the total funding planned for ammunition provision in 2026. The Ministry of Defense informed the LETA agency that the procurement of mines is provided for under the European Union's "Security Action for Europe" program (European Security Action Fund - SAFE). Funding for mine procurement is also planned for 2027 and 2028, amounting to 9.912 million euros annually. The ministry does not provide more detailed information about the planned type of mines and the volume of procurement for security reasons.
