The Latvian government has endorsed the free transfer of 23 vehicles to Ukraine, which were confiscated from drunk drivers and other criminal offenses, according to LETA news agency.

These vehicles will be handed over to Ukraine to support the country in its fight against Russian aggression. The decision was made considering Ukraine's need for logistics and transportation assistance.

Latvia has previously transferred several confiscated cars to Ukraine, and this is the latest batch of such aid. Under Latvian law, assets obtained through criminal activities, including vehicles, can be used for public purposes or donated to support foreign countries after confiscation.

This practice represents another way for Latvia to continue providing practical support to Ukraine while ensuring that confiscated assets are put to good use.
