Latvian singer Laima Vaikule called for giving weapons to Ukraine

During a music festival in Jurmala, Latvian singer Laima Vaikule publicly called for more weapons to be transferred to Ukraine. This was reported on July 28 by the Baltnews agency in the Telegram channel.

"It's better to give weapons to Ukraine," she said in response to a reporter's suggestion that music would help achieve peace.

In 2023, a request was sent to the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia to check Vaikule under the article on the rehabilitation of Nazism. The singer stated that monuments to Soviet soldiers should be demolished, as they have no artistic value. She also opposed the Special Military Operation (SVO).

The promised three years will wait: the process of arms supplies to Ukraine from the United States through the EU may be delayed

It was noted that at least six countries — Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Canada — declared their readiness to help with supplies.
