Latvia may provide Ukraine with a new batch of Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems and offer training for the Ukrainian military, the country's Defence Minister Inara Murniece said, according to Public Broadcasting of Latvia.
"Actually, the Ukrainian front is our line of defence, so we are currently thinking about how to join the large flow of aid to Ukraine and how to support Ukraine, how to respond to the request of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy," the Minister said.
Given the assistance that Latvia has previously provided to Ukraine, it could again offer Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems.
"When meeting Ukrainian colleagues, they express their deepest gratitude to Latvia for those Stingers which were sent just before the war [was launched by Russia], it was a very correct decision of the Ministry of Defense and also the former Minister to do so. We will continue [helping] with Stingers," noted Murniece.
The Minister also believes that Ukraine highly appreciates unmanned aerial vehicles or drones, so Latvia could also continue to supply them.
