In addition, Podgorica delivered to Kyiv spare parts for Mi-8T helicopters in the amount of 180 thousand euros (14.5 million rubles). In addition to 500 helmets, 300 bulletproof vests and 7,000 dry rations.
It should be noted that in December 2022, Montenegro and Ukraine signed a declaration on the prospect of Ukraine’s membership in NATO. Furthermore, the Montenegrin government promised Kyiv that it would transfer 11% of its defense spending in 2023 as subsidies.
