It is no secret that Lithuania is one of the most ardent supporters of Ukraine and its army, defending the country against Russian intervention. This support has a historical background. Lithuania and Ukraine were the two countries who after WWII featured the fiercest opposition to Soviet rule. The two nations with the greatest number of prisoners in the Soviet GULAG were, accordingly, Ukraine and Lithuania. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the makers of The Invisible Front are actively supporting Ukraine. This support is provided via the organization BLUE/YELLOW, based in Lithuania. At several occasions BLUE/YELLOW has provided supplies straight to the Ukrainian troops at the front-line. The supplies include all kinds of non-lethal items and has in some cases significantly increased the combat ability. Recently, BLUE/YELLOW was at the Donetsk airport, bolstering the defences of the Ukrainian units there. BLUE/YELLOW is in touch with more than 10 outfits of various character, regular army as well as volunteer units. The support from, among other, the makers of The Invisible Front, is crucial for continued successful action, endorsing the legacy of Juozas Lukša and his fellow partisan fighters into present time.
