Latvia has donated vehicles confiscated from drunk drivers to Ukraine, with a total value of €2.25 million, according to the Latvian State Revenue Service (VID).
On February 16, 2023, the Latvian Parliament unanimously passed urgent amendments to the Law on Support for Ukrainian Civilian Population. These amendments allow vehicles that become state property in Latvia to be transferred to Ukraine.
Among these vehicles are those confiscated from drivers caught operating under the influence of alcohol.
Since the amendments took effect, the government has made several decisions to hand over confiscated cars to Ukraine.
According to VID, a total of 612 vehicles, worth an estimated €2.25 million, have been delivered to Ukraine.
