2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, noting "Latvia, from the government to businessmen and
civil society, is with
Ukraine today, tomorrow and certainly also after Ukraine's victory in this brutal war. Latvia is ready to participate in the process of rebuilding Ukraine." In her opening speech, Levite also cited parallels between Ukraine and the
Soviet occupation of Latvia, noting that "for more than 50 years, the
Latvian people suffered the same pain that the Ukrainians are experiencing now. Therefore, Latvia has without doubt and hesitation provided support to Ukraine in all possible areas and will continue to do so in the future. On 23 July 2022, Levite and
Lithuanian
First Lady Diana Nausėdienė visited
