The government allows the transfer of state movable property to Ukraine without compensation

INTRODUCTION

The Cabinet of Ministers has adopted Order No. 567 “On the transfer of state movable property to Ukraine without compensation”. The decision was announced in the official publication “Latvijas Vēstnesis” on September 24, 2026, No. 184 (OP 2026/184), in the “CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS” section under the heading “Cabinet of Ministers” as item 27. With this order, the government permits the transfer of state-owned movable property to Ukraine without compensation.

CONTEXT

The order is a government decision published in a regular issue of the official publication along with other Cabinet of Ministers orders and regulations. Publication in the official publication is the moment the decision becomes publicly announced; the announcement specifies the title and number of the order, while the list of property to be transferred and the recipients are not reflected in the text of the announcement.

This is not the first decision of this type. Since August, several government decisions regarding support for Ukraine have been published in the official publication:

• Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 529 “On the transfer of state-owned vehicles to Ukraine without compensation” — published on September 11, 2026, No. 175 (OP 2026/175), item 19.
• Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 517 “On the provision of humanitarian aid to Ukraine” — published on August 27, 2026, No. 164 (OP 2026/164), item 23.
• Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 496 regarding the reallocation of appropriations from the budget resource “74. Funding to be reallocated in the annual state budget execution process” program 17.00.00 “Funding for the implementation of measures specified in the Law on Support for the Civilian Population of Ukraine” to the budget of the Ministry of Health — published on August 20, 2026, No. 159 (OP 2026/159), item 24.
