Details: The website reported that nine vehicles will be delivered to military units of Ukraine’s Defence Ministry, a municipal medical utility in Kharkiv Oblast’s Izium district, Mykolaiv Oblast’s Arbuzynka village council, a military unit of Ukraine’s National Guard, Kamianets-Podilskyi district council in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, and Kytaihorod village council in Khmelnytskyi Oblast.
Latvia will donate a total of 14 cars to Ukraine, with a total market value of over €100,000.
The cars will be delivered from Latvia to Ukraine with the help of what is known as a Twiterakonvojs (lit. Twitter convoy), a community engaged in sending cars donated by Latvian residents to Ukraine.
Last year, Latvia sent a total of 271 cars confiscated from drunk drivers to Ukraine, with a total value of almost €1 million.
Former Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš (now serving as Latvia’s Foreign Minister) said in an interview with European Pravda that 100% of Latvian society supports Ukraine, even those who drive under the influence.
