On April 11, in Vilnius, president Volodymyr Zelensky and the president of Latvia Edgars Rinkevics signed an agreement on security cooperation and long-term support.
According to the agreement, Latvia undertakes to help Ukraine in defense against Russian aggression as much as it takes.
This year, Latvia will provide military support in the amount of about 112 million euros and will provide defense assistance in the amount of 0.25% of its GDP every year.
Within the framework of the agreement, Latvia will also help with recovery and reconstruction, protection of critical infrastructure, demining, unmanned technologies and cyber security of Ukraine.
The document is valid for ten years and provides for the possibility of extending its validity by mutual agreement of the parties.
Ukraine has already concluded security agreements with Great Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, and Latvia.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
