"I thank Latvia and Prime Minister Evika Siliņa for today's decision to provide a new military aid package focusing on additional air defense and drone systems. We greatly appreciate Latvia's consistent support for Ukraine at 0.25% of GDP per year, as well as its clarity of purpose," Zelenskyy said on the X social network on Tuesday.
