In an interview with Bloomberg, Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze said that Ukraine has enough weapons to conduct military operations until the end of summer 2025. She noted that Latvia has already provided Kyiv with aid in the amount of about 1% of its GDP and will continue to support Ukraine despite limited resources.

"Ukraine has the ability to hold out all summer with the weapons it already has", - Brazhe emphasized.

Her statement came amid discussions of a possible reduction in Western support for Kyiv.

Earlier, Ukrainian Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper Pais that if military aid from the United States ceases, Ukraine will be able to provide itself with funds and ammunition until mid-2025. However, these forecasts depend on the current intensity of hostilities and access to reserves.

The situation for Kyiv is complicated by the fact that US President-elect Donald Trump has announced a possible reduction in Washington's support for Ukraine. In an interview with NBC News, he noted that the new administration would likely reconsider the amount of aid provided to Kyiv. Such an approach could significantly affect Ukraine's ability to continue the standoff in the long term.

Russia, in turn, continues to criticize the supply of weapons to Ukraine. The Russian side previously stated that such actions only prolong the conflict and make NATO countries participants in the confrontation. It is noted that any shipments of weapons to Kyiv are considered legitimate targets for Russian troops. The Kremlin has repeatedly indicated that pumping weapons into Ukraine hinders peace talks.
