Latvia sends cars seized from drunk drivers to Ukraine

So far, a total of 1,500 seized vehicles have been sent to the Ukrainian military or its municipalities.

“We are in dire need of more cars for the front line,” said a Latvian paramedic who helped Ukraine on the ground in the first days of the invasion.

The medic, who goes by the codename “Dnipro Ghost”, told AFP that as the war drags on, circumstances have only become more desperate.

“Previously we wanted to choose mostly off-road cars or SUVs”, he said. “Currently we are happy with any car that is able to carry the wounded.”

“By helping Ukraine, Latvia and the rest of Europe are helping ourselves,” said Poznaks.
