Latvia, as EU and NATO member, is ready to help Ukraine

"I am very proud of the two countries – Latvia and Ukraine – of how dynamically Ukraine has been developing since 2015. There are many very good bridges between our countries, many people travel from one country to another. There are many activities that unite us. And, Latvia, as EU country and NATO member, can help Ukraine in many ways," Speaker of the Saeima of the Republic of Latvia Ināra Mūrniece said at a briefing in Avdiivka on May 19.

As noted, the Latvian Armed Forces are already helping Ukraine, and Latvian sister cities could provide additional assistance.

"Our sister cities could help: give Ukrainian soldiers, children, an opportunity to visit Latvia to have at least a few days of rest," said the Speaker of the Saeima.

She thanked Verkhovna Rada Speaker Dmytro Razumkov and Ukrainians for the warm visit and reassured them of Latvian support.

"I want to thank Mr. Razumkov and all Ukrainians for welcoming me so warmly. We will support Ukraine in every possible way and inform about what is happening here," Mūrniece said.

As reported, Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Dmytro Razumkov and Speaker of the Saeima of the Republic of Latvia Ināra Mūrniece make a joint working visit to Donetsk region on May 19.
