Latvia has pledged to provide military support to Ukraine in the amount of 0.25% of GDP annually until at least 2026. In the past, Ukraine has been equipped with various types of weapons and equipment, including helicopters and self-propelled howitzers, previously purchased from Austria.
The agreement signed with Great Britain provided for the supply of 123 CVR(T) armored vehicles – 116 modernized and seven without major repairs for training mechanics. The first vehicles were delivered to Latvia in the fall of 2015.
Let’s recall that Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina announced on Wednesday, September 11, the next package of military support for Ukraine at a meeting in Kyiv with her Ukrainian counterpart Denis Šmigal.
