RIGA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has shown that there is place for courage and humanness in today's world, Latvian Defense Minister Inara Murniece (National Alliance) said in an interview on Latvian Television today, expressing confidence in Ukraine's imminent victory. 

The minister also called on people to gather by the Russian Embassy building in Riga at 11:00 to sing the national anthems of Latvia and Ukraine in show of unity. 

A Russian tank, damaged and captured by Ukrainian forces, has been parked in front of the Russian Embassy on Friday.

"While visiting Ukraine and seeing crushed Russian tanks displayed in Kyiv, an idea emerged that we too can show what they are like to people in Latvia. The tank will be on display in front of the Russian Embassy until March 26," said Murniece. 

As reported, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
