Latvia has provided Ukraine with 100 FPV drones.

This was reported by the Embassy of Ukraine in Latvia.

Funding for the purchase of drones was raised through a charitable initiative led by Latvia's Foreign Minister, Baiba Braže. In May 2024, she ran the Riga Half Marathon, encouraging the public to donate for the drones.

The drones will now be delivered to two Ukrainian military units — the 21st Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the "Lut" Brigade of the National Police of Ukraine.

The project was organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Ukraine in Latvia and the Latvian charity fund Ziedot.lv. Approximately 130,000 euros were collected as part of this initiative.
