Latvia has given Ukraine more than 270 vehicles confiscated from drunk drivers this year. The vehicles have a total value of nearly $1.1 million, the Latvian news portal Delfi reported on December 25. In February, the Latvian parliament decided that confiscated vehicles should be handed over to Ukraine for free. As a result of Russian air strikes and fighting in Ukraine since Moscow's invasion in early 2022, civilian cars are regularly damaged or destroyed. Ukrainian citizens are in urgent need of vehicles in order to flee from areas particularly affected by the war.
