" It has been 831 days since the full-scale attack began and 831 days since Entrepreneurs for Peace have been providing assistance to Ukrainian defenders. By cooperating with the business community of Latvia and state institutions, the foundation continues to purposefully help in those positions that the armed forces of Ukraine need the most, including vehicles and drones," said Laura Skrodele, director of Entrepreneurs for Peace.
