The international drone coalition led by Latvia and the UK is providing Ukraine with drone support worth 1.8 billion euros in 2024, including direct deliveries and production investments.
On November 20, 2024, the Latvian Ministry of Defense announced that member states of the international drone coalition have contributed a total of 1.8 billion euros in 2024 to support Ukraine's drone capabilities against the aggression. This funding is allocated for direct drone deliveries to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, investments in Ukrainian drone production, and the replenishment of the coalition's common fund, which currently holds 83 million euros. The coalition, led by Latvia and Great Britain and comprising countries including Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Australia, several EU members, Canada, and New Zealand, also supports innovative drone development through competitive funding. Additionally, Latvia committed approximately 20 million euros to the coalition for 2024 and 2025 and has signed a training agreement with Ukraine to develop Ukrainian drone pilots. The drone coalition forms a strategic platform not only for helping Ukraine but also to strengthen Latvia's future defense capabilities.
Confidence: High
Classified as defense because the event details alliance members' financial and training support to Ukraine's drone capabilities as part of defense preparations against aggression. No hostile actions by Russia or other aggressors are described in this event.
