Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins spoke out in favor of supplying fighter jets to Ukraine, telling Germany's Der Spiegel news magazine: "I don't see why the West should not deliver fighter jets. If the Ukrainians need fighter jets, they should get them." He added that "the delivery of fighter jets is only a matter of time." All European countries must ramp up their defense industries, including Germany, he added. "Russia is producing 24 hours a day. They have switched to a war economy," he said. "We are still producing in peace mode."
