🇱🇻 Latvia has handed over the first 8 cars to Ukraine for the military, which were seized from citizens for drunken driving - the Government website reports

💼On Tuesday, 7th of March, the Cabinet of Ministers (CoM) considered an information report and a draft decree on the free transfer of state-owned vehicles to Ukraine. The government decided to transfer eight state-owned vehicles to military units of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Vinnytsia Regional Clinical Hospital and the territorial medical association of Kupiansk Council free of charge, the website says.

💭"I am proud that together we can do it! It took a little over a month from idea to implementation. I am grateful for the support and active participation of the Inland Revenue Service, my colleagues from the government, the Commission on Defence, Internal Affairs and Corruption Prevention, and the members of the Sejm for unanimously supporting the amendments to the Law on Support of Civilians of Ukraine. We have once again reaffirmed our unity in supporting Ukraine. I believe that any support we provide - big or small - brings us closer to victory in this senseless war. Special thanks to Reinis Pozņaks, the founder of "Twitterconvoy", and his team for supporting the idea, the work put into the evaluation of the vehicle and the planned regular practical work on the delivery of vehicles," said Finance Minister Arvils Ašeradens.

Situation on the frontlines as of March 9, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting is taking place in the area from the Ploschanka district to the south of Dibrova. The situation has been clarified.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — enemy took control of Dubove-Vasylivka and advanced along the line of Dubovyi Yar. The katsaps' attempts to advance on Bohdanivka are failing. Fighting continues in the city of Bakhmut. At night, the enemy launched an assault in the direction of Vasyukivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — local clashes continue. No changes have been recorded.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia and Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical Note. The enemy is trying to build on its success on the northern face of the Bakhmut salient. Most likely, the katsaps will increase pressure towards Orikhovo-Vasylivka, Hryhorivka and Bohdanivka.

🛑We remind you that there cannot be an accurate map of the fighting in the public domain, and it is always better to take information, both victorious and not so much, with skepticism and wait for visual confirmation or a message from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And of course, rely on trusted sources.
