Latvia raises over 200 thousand euros in aid for Azov brigade
Latvian volunteers have collected about 200 thousand euros in donations and used them to buy aid for the soldiers of the Azov National Guard Brigade of Ukraine, which will be sent in October.
This was reported by LSM.lv.
The aid package for Azov, which was assembled in Latvia, includes more than 100 Latvian-made FPV drones, dry rations, two off-road vehicles and nine powerful generators.
The aid was organized by Support AZOV Latvia, which is in constant contact with the Ukrainian military.
“The support from outside, from Latvians themselves, helps a lot. And the fact that we go there, because, not to mention the soldiers, who are very motivated by such things, people feel that they are not left alone in this war and in this struggle,” said Guntars Jansons, a representative of Support AZOV Latvia.
The volunteers note that they will continue to raise funds for the Azov soldiers on the Ziedot.lv crowdfunding site until mid-October.
