Latvia transfers 14 CVRT armoured vehicles to Ukraine

Latvia has handed over 14 CVRT armoured vehicles to Ukraine during the first visit to Kyiv by newly appointed Defence Minister Raivis Melnis.

In a statement posted on X, the Latvian Defence Ministry confirmed the transfer as part of ongoing military assistance to Ukraine.

The vehicles were delivered to Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps and were provided by the Ādaži Mechanised Infantry Brigade. In total, the Ukrainian forces are set to receive 41 armoured vehicles of this type.

Melnis said the CVRT vehicles would strengthen Ukraine’s military capabilities in the context of the Russian war and help save soldiers’ lives.
