Latvia opposes NATO sending troops to Ukraine.

The Latvian Prime Minister said NATO is not ready to discuss sending troops to Ukraine , and that the alliance should instead focus on providing military and financial support to Kyiv.

"Sending troops is not what Ukraine is actually asking us to do right now," Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina said in Berlin after a meeting with her German counterpart Olaf Scholz on March 27. "They are asking for other things, and I believe we need to focus on those issues."

According to Silina, Western allies should focus on purchasing and transferring the weapons and ammunition that Ukraine needs to counter Russia .

"Latvia and Germany have joined the Czech initiative. We are buying ammunition from outside Europe to provide faster aid to Ukraine," the Latvian Prime Minister added. Latvia, along with the UK, aims to supply Ukraine with one million unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and is working to achieve this within a year.
