Latvian Defense Minister Inara Murniece, at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting in Ramstein, has announced that Latvia will hand over to Ukraine all its Stinger air defense systems.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Latvia’s Public Broadcasting LSM.
"We will do everything possible so that they (Stinger air defense systems - ed.) are delivered as soon as possible," Murniece said.
According to her, Latvia will also continue training the Ukrainian military, while intending to train twice as many personnel compared to 2022. Murniece also said that by the end of the year, about 3,000 Ukrainian soldiers will undergo training in Latvia.
As Ukrinform reported, in March, with the implementation of a new package, Latvia's military aid to Ukraine reached EUR 370 million, which is more than 1% of Latvia's GDP.
