Ukrainian military officials have been more forthcoming about the origins of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating over the Balvi region, suggesting they may have been Ukrainian drones that were drawn into the airspace following Russian electronic warfare. Latvia, a NATO member with a population of nearly 1.9 million people, shares a border with Russia to the east.
Since the onset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the EU and NATO have significantly increased their support for Ukraine, reaching nearly eleven billion euros in aid between May and June, according to the World Economic Forum's Ukraine Support Tracker. This assistance was divided, with approximately 4.3 billion euros allocated to military aid and 6.7 billion euros directed towards financial and humanitarian support.
The United States did not provide any aid during this period, while the majority of the funds were provided by the EU through a new "Ukraine Support Loan" amounting to ninety billion euros. This loan aims to secure Ukraine's budget and defense expenditures for the years 2026 and 2027. Germany contributed 700 million euros in military aid.
Military aid in the first half of 2026 nearly matched the previous year's level, but financial and humanitarian support for Ukraine has dropped considerably. Average monthly payments in this sector were 41 percent lower than in 2025.
