"Thanks to our partners, we continue to meet the needs of our units at the tactical level. A new batch of equipment from Latvia will help to establish communication on the front line. I am grateful to our allies for their timely support," said Deputy Minister of Defence for Digital Transformation, Digital Development and Digitalisation Kateryna Chornohorenko.
The Ministry of Defence reminds that earlier, within the framework of the IT Coalition, Latvia provided laptops to modernise logistics processes and deploy a system based on System Analysis Programme Development (SAP).
"Latvia supports Ukraine, and we are constantly looking for new ways to help our ally. The latest batch of critical IT equipment for combat units is our contribution within the IT Coalition. Our military support to Ukraine this year and for the next two years will amount to 0.25% of GDP. In addition, we are transferring various types of weapons to the Ukrainian army, including drones, artillery and air defence systems," said Andris Spruds, Minister of Defence of Latvia.
The IT Coalition is an ad hoc group of states within the Contact Group on Ukraine's Defence (Ramstein format) led by Estonia and Luxembourg. It focuses on providing support to the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of IT, communications and cybersecurity. The coalition has already raised financial and in-kind contributions of over EUR 36 million. Contributions of more than €23 million are still awaited.
Background. On 30 April, the Latvian government approved the transfer of another military aid package to Ukraine. Prime Minister of Latvia Eвіка Silinia noted that the package includes anti-aircraft systems and unmanned surveillance systems.
