JĀNIS VINGRIS FROM UKRAINE⟩ The fate of Latvian convoys on the Ukrainian front

This year the newcomers came to this Ukrainian landscape: khaki SUV. They rush into roads and off-road vehicles along the entire front line, thousands of kilometers long. Decorated with British, Czech, Polish, Swedish and Latvian license plates, these are SUVs donated to Ukrainian soldiers.

The car is one of the most useful things donors and volunteers can provide to soldiers in Ukraine. They provide mobility, operability, saving lives for the wounded, escape from siege. A soldier’s quality of life depends on the machine. But there is a big problem with the machines in the Ukrainian army. If there is, then for the commanding staff, old and worn out Soviet-era means of transport.
