Today, September 11, the President of Lithuania Gitanas Nausėda and the Prime Minister of Latvia Evika Siliņa arrived in Kyiv for a visit. The President of Lithuania emphasized the importance of military and economic support for the protection of Ukraine's sovereignty.

They reported this on X.

The President of Lithuania emphasized that the provision of military and economic support to Ukraine is of crucial importance for the protection of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“Morning in Kyiv. Latvia will be with the Ukrainian people until their victory, and will always support Ukraine on the way to the European Union and NATO! Glory to Ukraine!" wrote Siliņa.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, against the background of the fact that on the night of September 8, a group of attack drones of the aggressor state of russia during an attack on Ukraine violated the airspace of Romania and Latvia, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania believes that it was the inaction of NATO Allies that led to the fall of russian drones on the territory of the Alliance countries.

Before that, the Latvian military announced that on September 7, a russian Shahed drone fell on the territory of the country. After examination, explosives were found on the drone. Latvia summoned the charge d'affaires of the Embassy of the aggressor country russia over the incident with the attack drone.

At the end of August, it became known that Latvia had prepared the largest batch of drones from local manufacturers for shipment to Ukraine.

At the same time, military aid from Lithuania arrived in Ukraine, containing trucks, anti-drone systems and bunkers for the military.
