Motivation remains high in Latvia to continue efforts to aid Ukraine, with the country’s small size encouraging specialization. This is best seen in the recently announced Drone Coalition, which will see Riga lead allied efforts to deliver much-needed unmanned systems to Kyiv.
The Baltic states have been at the forefront of supporting Ukraine since the onset of the Russian invasion. Beyond financial aid to the Ukrainian military, these nations are striving to create innovative solutions, drawing from their experiences as small economies that must seek niches and specializations. They are now finding ways to amplify their impact despite relatively limited resources compared to larger countries.
