Ukraine now has the so-called “rasputnica” - until the land freezes, there will be very difficult field and road conditions. So they [ATVs] will be immediately [put] into action,” said Emils Paupe-Balodis, spokesman for the association “SOS assistance to the Ukrainian Army.”
For the donation worth €76,000, the society thanks the American Latvian Mārtiņš Putenis.
