Latvia will allocate 2 million euros for weapons for Ukraine: what exactly will be purchased.
Latvia will buy for Ukraine the weapons it needs on the front line
According to Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina, Riga will support the call of U.S. President Donald Trump and will facilitate the acquisition of air defense systems and other necessary means for Ukraine.
Last week, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden announced funding for a package of equipment and ammunition worth 500 million dollars, which will be purchased in the United States as part of the new NATO program 'List of Priority Needs for Ukraine' (PURL).
The mechanism developed by the U.S. Department of Defense and the Alliance provides for the creation of a special NATO bank account. Allies will be able to transfer funds to it for the purchase of weapons from the United States.
Ukraine, in turn, will provide NATO with a list of necessary weapons, and the Supreme Commander of the NATO joint forces in Europe, General Alexus Grinkevich, will assess the availability of the corresponding stocks in the U.S. for further sale.
It should be noted that Ukraine and the Czech Republic have agreed to increase weapons production. Romania will also strengthen its support for Ukraine and launch several joint projects.
Earlier, the U.S. confirmed its readiness to sell Ukraine weapons worth 200 million dollars. It is also known that the Scandinavian countries will finance military purchases.
Summary
Latvia will join the NATO initiative to allocate funds for the purchase of weapons for Ukraine. Sweden, Norway, and Denmark have also already promised funding of $500 million for a package of equipment and ammunition. This support is part of the 'List of Priority Needs for Ukraine' program in NATO.
