"Right now more than 30 trucks containing individual equipment donated by @Latvijas_armija are heading to Ukraine. Helmets, dry food, medical devices and medicine. Also a large consignment of ammunition is to be delivered," Pabriks wrote on Twitter on Saturday.

According to him, Aid also includes food supplies and a donation from @VC4_LV worth more than EUR 17,000, containing medical supplies, as well as 11,000 pieces of gauze bandages and disposable gloves donated by @Meness_aptieka.

"People of Latvia have donated more than EUR 1.5 million, together with @Ziedot_LV we have purchased the first 500 tonnes of diesel to keep the wheels of @ArmedForcesUkr spinning! More help is on the way! As long as the Ukrainian army continues to resist Russian aggression, there will be an independent Ukraine and a secure Europe! Latvia is with you!" the minister said.
