Latvia leads ’drone coalition’ within Ramstein format – Rinkēvičs
Latvia assumes a leadership role in the "drone coalition" among the countries that provide military support to Ukraine to repel Russian aggression.
This was stated by Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs at a joint briefing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his visit to Riga, Censor.NET reports with reference to European Pravda.
Rinkēvičs noted that Latvia "leads the 'drone coalition' within the Ramstein format," and that drones are one of the areas of cooperation under the memorandum of military cooperation that Ukraine and Latvia will sign during Zelenskyy's visit.
"We see that we have an opportunity to cooperate. We can produce cheaper drones, which are very effective and very necessary for the Ukrainian military to succeed," Edgars Rinkēvičs said.
Rinkēvičs also announced the next package of military aid from Latvia, which will include howitzers, artillery shells and anti-tank weapons.
