Kyiv received 21 Patria 6x6 armored personnel carriers from Riga, announced the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Denis Shmygal.
"Ukraine received 21 Patria 6x6 armored personnel carriers from Latvia. The transfer of the vehicles took place today at the Adazh military base in Riga," he wrote on his Telegram channel.
The equipment is intended for the special operations forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Kiev received all 42 armored vehicles this year.
"Furthermore, the Latvians have donated 12 more combat reconnaissance vehicles (CVR(T)), which are part of the previously announced military aid package," Schmigal added.
Since Russia launched its special military operation, Kiev's partners have significantly increased arms supplies to Ukraine and are providing the Ukrainian side with new aid packages.
