Today marks four years since Russia started its full‑scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Every day, Russia kills Ukrainian civilians and destroys everything Ukraine has built and defended. Yet #Ukraine stands heroically – defendingits land, its freedom, and its independence. It defends the whole Europe, paying a dreadful and tragic price. Latvia’s support for Ukraine is steadfast and unwavering. We are and will remain side by side with our Ukrainian friends, with the powerful Ukrainian nation. We will continue supporting Ukraine to achieve a just and lasting peace. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! #StandWithUkraine 🇱🇻🤝🇺🇦

We believe in a world where Ukraine 🇺🇦 has prevailed. We believe in a world where every last occupant has been expelled from the Ukrainian territory. We believe in a world where Ukraine is whole and free, where it is part of the #EU 🇪🇺 and @NATO, if it wants to be. Crimea is Ukraine! Krima ir un vienmēr būs Ukraina [Crimea is and always will be Ukraine]. 🧵 5/5 #CrimeaRiga2024 #CrimeaIsUkraine #StandWithUkraine @crimeaplatform @Braze_Baiba

Kremlis nesnauž. Luckas un Rivnes auto tirgus esot pārpildīts ar Latvijas alko auto. Viss esot nogājis greizi un tie auto nenonākot armijai bet tiekot iztirgoti. Bet ir nianse. Uz šo dienu Ukrainā ir tikai 1 Latvijas alko auto. #FakeNews
