PoliticsLatvia votes with Russia threat looming large

Latvia elects a new parliament this weekend amid security concerns over an emboldened Russia, Moscow’s escalating hybrid threat and a cost-of-living crisis. Polls point to a win for the pro-Ukraine United List led by Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, though it will need coalition partners to secure a majority. Parties courting Russian-speaking voters could become pivotal.
