Details: Kutsevol said that Latvia never forgets that it has taken on the coordinating role in the Coalition of Drones for Ukraine, in particular when it comes to cooperation between Ukrainian and Latvian firms in the realm of military equipment.

"I think that as time passes, we will have more media reports about drones and radar defence systems made in Latvia being sent to Ukraine," Kutsevol said.

He also shared details about the Ukraine-Latvia cooperation on producing 155-mm shells.

"There are other areas where we’re cooperating in, but we can’t share them now in the light of security concerns," Kutsevol said.

He said that Latvia is currently looking for ways to welcome more Ukrainian soldiers for treatment and rehabilitation; the number currently stands at 150-200 soldiers.

Kutsevol said that Ukraine has reached a preliminary agreement with the Latvian Health Ministry.

Background:
