Tas palīdzēs uzlabot gan Ukrainas pretgaisa aizsardzību, gan izlūkošanas spējas. 1/2</p>&mdash; Evika Siliņa (@EvikaSilina) <a href="https://twitter.com/EvikaSilina/status/1785279299278307482?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 30, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

According to the Prime Minister, these measures are aimed at improving the effectiveness of Ukraine's air defense and intelligence capabilities.

Siliņa emphasized that Russia currently poses the greatest threat to global security. Therefore, Latvia annually allocates 0.25% of its GDP for military aid to Ukraine.

The Prime Minister added that Latvia will continue to support Ukraine both bilaterally and together with other allies.
