Latvia's parliament has approved a new centre-right coalition government led by Andris Kulbergs, the Kyiv Post reported Thursday.
The previous cabinet collapsed following a dispute over stray Ukrainian drones and an air defence failure — an incident that proved politically fatal for the outgoing government.
The new government has pledged stronger security, continued support for Ukraine, and a firm pro-EU, pro-NATO foreign policy. Latvia has been one of Ukraine's most consistent supporters since Russia's full-scale invasion, making the circumstances of the cabinet's fall — a dispute directly linked to Ukrainian military activity — politically sensitive in Riga.
Kulbergs's appointment restores governmental stability to the Baltic NATO member state ahead of October elections. No further details on cabinet composition were provided in the wire summary.
