Latvia donates communication equipment worth EUR 100 thousand to Ukraine as part of IT coalition.

As part of the IT Coalition initiative, Latvia donated communications equipment worth about 100,000 euros to Ukraine. This should provide the Armed Forces brigades with tactical communications.

This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Defense.

The new batch of equipment from Latvia will help to establish communication on the front line, the ministry emphasized.

Earlier, Latvia has already donated laptops as part of the IT coalition to modernize logistics processes and deploy an SAP-based system.

"Latvia supports Ukraine, and we are constantly looking for new ways to help our ally. The latest batch of critical IT equipment needed 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 defense systems," said Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds.
