The Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs took part in the Riga Half Marathon to raise funds for drones for Ukraine and covered the half marathon distance of 21 kilometers.
On Saturday, Baiba Brazhe announced that she has registered for the 21 km distance, which will be her first half marathon, and that she will run with the number 815, which represents the number of days that Ukraine has been defending itself in an all-out war . .
On Sunday, Braje reported that he had reached the chosen distance and thanked him for the support.
“We have already collected almost 10 thousand euros. Let’s make a little more effort,” she wrote.
According to him, about 34 thousand people took part in the race. The collection for drones is carried out in cooperation with the Ukrainian Embassy in Latvia.
Let’s recall that in May the Latvian government allocated 10 million euros for the purchase of artillery ammunition for Ukraine as part of the Czech initiative. In addition, another batch of drones will be delivered to Ukraine in the summer.
