Under the coordination of the Embassy of Ukraine, another humanitarian aid shipment for the needs of the Ukrainian military, which was collected by Latvian volunteer and charitable organisations, was sent to Latvia.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported on the Facebook page of the Embassy of Ukraine in Latvia.
According to the report, the funds raised by the STOPIFY charity initiative were used to buy a Toyota HiLux SUV, drones, thermal imaging devices, night vision devices, tablets, dry rations and other necessary equipment.
The staff of the state-owned company Latvenergo donated powerful power banks (30,000 mA), and the Latvian Hunters' Association donated canned game meat. Latvians from Latgale also donated optical devices to Ukrainian soldiers.
