"This assistance package will strengthen Ukraine’s energy grid, shelters, infrastructure, social and civic resilience, and drone capabilities. Latvia will always support Ukraine," Braze wrote on X on Monday.

As reported, Latvia has signed a memorandum of understanding with leading Ukrainian business and defense organizations. Additionally, Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds, during a meeting with Ukraine’s Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov in Kyiv on Tuesday, announced that Latvia would transfer additional CVR(T) combat reconnaissance tracked armored vehicles to Ukraine.
