The Latvian Parliament emphasizes that Russia's aggression towards Ukraine dates back to 2014, beginning with the illegal annexation of Crimea and the occupation of parts of Eastern Ukraine. Latvia characterizes Russia's brutal actions and rhetoric aimed at the eradication of the Ukrainian people as genocide, highlighting that this military aggression has instigated the worst humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II. Systematic attacks on civilians, deportation of children, family separations, forced identity changes, and Russification are stressed as orchestrated by Russia.

In its ongoing support for Ukraine, Latvia pledges to allocate at least 0.25% of its GDP for military assistance to Ukraine while also providing humanitarian and civilian aid. This commitment underscores Latvia's role in international support for Ukraine, alongside a call for collaborative action from global partners. Latvia consistently emphasizes the importance of unity within European Union and NATO member states in effectively opposing Russian aggression and assisting Ukraine.

The Latvian government's stance highlights its dedication to holding Russia accountable for its actions and advocating for international measures that would enhance pressure on Russia through sanctions. By reducing aid from other countries to Russia, Latvia aims to deter further aggression and support the Ukrainian struggle against the ongoing war, reinforcing its long-standing opposition to Russian military actions in the region.
