WorldLatvia faces ‘alarming’ period amid rising Russian threat in Baltics, president says

Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics said Latvia sees no evidence of an imminent conventional Russian attack, but warned that the coming weeks could be “alarming” as the country prepares for cyberattacks, information campaigns and possible disruptions around its Oct. 3 parliamentary election. He said Russian pressure, sabotage and other hybrid threats against Ukraine supporters are increasing, while NATO forces on the eastern flank would respond swiftly to any incursion.
