Latvia gets front row in rebuilding Ukraine's telecom infrastructure
Latvia is looking to capitalise on this strong position by playing a leading role in reconstructing and upscaling Ukraine’s ICT networks.
“Twenty-five per cent of all internet networks have been destroyed [and] over 4,000 mobile base stations were damaged” since the Russian Federation launched its full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022, notes Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukrainian vice prime minister and minister of digital transformation.
Adding to the list the destruction of 60,000 kilometres of fibre-optic lines, Ukraine’s telecommunication infrastructure damages total more than €2 billion.
A Memorandum of Cooperation, jointly signed by Fedorov and Latvia’s Minister of Transportation, Kaspars Briškens, at the 5G Techritory event in Rīga, contains 10 points for a win-win Ukrainian-Latvian collaboration.
