Latvia approves assistance package for Ukraine that includes drones, air defense systems

This was reported by the country's Prime Minister Evika Silina on the social network X.

The head of the Latvian government stressed that this military assistance will help improve Ukraine's air defense and intelligence capabilities.

"The government has just approved the transfer of NBS anti-aircraft guns, tactical unmanned surveillance systems and other necessary materials for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This will help to improve both Ukraine's air defense and its intelligence capabilities," Silina wrote.
