LatUkrNet is the Latvian-Ukrainian Think Tank Network. It is a cooperation platform with Ukrainian think tanks focusing on security, defense, and related issues.

It reflects Latvia's long-term and cordial support for Ukraine, a testament to the strong bond between our nations and our shared commitment to each other's national security.

We appreciate that these Ukrainian think tanks have become part of the network:
