Latvia has handed over 21 Patria 6x6 armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine as part of military aid. The transfer took place on November 6 at the Adazhi military base. This is the second delivery of Patria in 2025: since the beginning of the year Ukraine has already received 42 units of this equipment from Latvia.
Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds called the transfer of armored personnel carriers a manifestation of friendship and partnership, stressing that his country, as a member of the EU and NATO, "has always supported and continues to wholeheartedly support Ukraine."

While present at the Adazhi base, Ukrainian Defense Minister Denis Shmyhal thanked the Latvian side, noting that despite the development of modern technologies such as drones, traditional weapons systems remain extremely important. "These machines are effective equipment that saves soldiers' lives," the Ukrainian minister said.
Andris Špryuds said that Latvia will allocate about 0.3 percent of its GDP for military aid to Ukraine in 2025. The country, which shares a border with Russia and Belarus, remains one of Kiev's most resolute allies in its resistance to Russian aggression.
