The Latvian government decided on Tuesday, February 17th, to allocate 10 million euros to support Ukraine under NATO's Prioritized Ukraine Requirement List (PURL) programme, under which European countries purchase military equipment from the United States, which then delivers it to Ukraine, Prime Minister Evika Siliņa (New Unity) announced on social media.
She indicated that the money will be used to purchase weapons and equipment to help Ukraine defend itself. "The purchases will be from the United States, our strategic partner, providing reliable and high-quality assistance," said Siliņa.
Latvia's contribution will be part of the annual military assistance package to Ukraine and will be provided within the framework of the 0.25% of gross domestic product (GDP) commitment Latvia has made towards state support for Ukraine.
