In Riga, a charity event named "The Point of Indomitability" is drawing attention to the plight of Ukrainians during the ongoing conflict. On February 9th, people gathered at the Ukrainian café '77 chairs' where they were offered breakfast in exchange for donations. The warm atmosphere, marked by the aroma of hot tea, allowed attendees to take a moment from their busy lives to give support, highlighting the community's solidarity with Ukraine during these challenging winter months.

This initiative is part of a broader fundraising campaign organized by Latvijas Sabiedriskā medija and the charity platform "Ziedot.lv". The primary goal is to raise funds for the restoration of energy supply in Ukraine, which is critically needed as the winter continues. The funds will go towards purchasing generators, heating equipment, and essential services that allow Ukrainian families to maintain basic comforts in their homes. Ilze Ošāne, a representative from "Ziedot.lv", emphasized the urgency of the efforts to ensure that apartments have light and that shelters remain warm, allowing families to cook and endure another day without compromising their safety.

The event not only serves as a fundraising effort but also as an educational opportunity for Latvians to experience the stark realities faced by Ukrainians. Participants are encouraged to reflect on the daily struggles of those affected by the war, highlighting the importance of empathy and support in these difficult times. As the harsh winter persists, such initiatives become increasingly vital to sustaining morale and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
