Latvian Saeima approves statement on swift invitation of Ukraine to NATO
The Latvian Saeima, ahead of the NATO summit in The Hague scheduled for June 24-25, approved a statement supporting the swift invitation of Ukraine to join NATO.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing Delfi.
The document states that inviting Ukraine does not imply immediate membership but will send a politically and morally significant signal of a clear path to the Alliance. Latvia urges allies to advance this process and emphasize it at the Hague summit.
The statement recalls the agreement between Latvia and Ukraine on long-term support and security guarantees, signed in April 2024, which includes practical and political support for Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration process. The parliament reiterates its consistent position in supporting Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, and Euro-Atlantic integration.
Given these circumstances, the Latvian Saeima, among other things, "supports the swift invitation of Ukraine to NATO membership and progressive advancement of its EU accession process; stresses that Latvia’s support for Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration is based on the conviction that a stable Ukraine is essential for long-term security in Europe and Latvia."
