Ruslan Stefanchuk, Chairman of Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, reported on Facebook.

Ināra Mūrniece made her first visit to Ukraine since her appointment as Latvian Minister of Defense. During it, she met Stefanchuk.

Together with the head of Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, Mūrniece discussed the "peace formula" proposed by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Ināra Mūrniece has made a lot of efforts to support Ukraine in the position of Speaker of Latvian Saeima. I hope for further decisive assistance to Ukraine by the new Government of Latvia," Stefanchuk wrote.

  • On January 12, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the Chairman of Latvian Saeima, Edvards Smiltēns, during the conversation with whom he discussed humanitarian and defense support for Ukraine.
