"And we also have to make sure that we provide the weapons and the ammunition that they need in order to do this task [of winning the war]," the Latvian minister said.

"For anyone who thinks that it’s expensive to support Ukraine, that this money is better spent elsewhere, I can only say it will only get more expensive in the future. If we do not help Ukraine st Russia now, it will be only all the more expensive for us later, because Russia will not st," the pitician said.

As reported, Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs called for immediate military and financial assistance to Ukraine after Russia's massive missile strike on January 2.
