Latvia sends 20 vehicles with cargo for Ukrainian military

Latvia recently sent 20 four-wheel-drive vehicles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of a charity project organized by the Ziedot Foundation.

The Embassy of Ukraine in Latvia reported this on Facebook, Rubryka writes.

According to the diplomatic institution, the vehicles, which are already en route to Kyiv, are loaded with:

• drones,
• computer equipment,
• generators,
• charging stations,
• other necessary items.

There, the vehicles will be handed over to Ukrainian defenders who daily protect the country from Russian aggression.

The Ambassador of Ukraine to Latvia expressed gratitude to LatvEnergo, the Ziedot charity foundation, and the volunteer organization Bruņotava, which facilitates the delivery of vehicles and humanitarian aid, for their ongoing support and solidarity with the Ukrainian people. He also wished safe travels to all those involved in this important mission.

Assistance from Latvia

As a reminder, on January 14, another humanitarian shipment for Ukrainian defenders was sent from Latvia, which included a Volvo truck and a Volkswagen AMAROK pickup truck loaded with vital equipment.

Additionally, servicemen of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine received drones purchased with charitable funds collected in Latvia.

As previously reported, to raise funds for drones for Ukraine, Latvia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baiba Braže, ran her first half marathon, raising €13.5 thousand, with the total amount continuing to grow.

Next year, Latvia will once again allocate €20 million euros for the international drone coalition aimed at strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities. Moreover, Latvia has begun training Ukrainian drone operators.
