Artūrs Zvejsalnieks wrote that in Latvia it might seem that there is no one to vote for in the elections, although in his view there were about 14 options to choose from, of which seven were real. He urged to imagine the situation of an adequate US citizen, where the choice is essentially only between the Protest Youth and Bremen. #vēlēšanas #politika #Baltija (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Sergejs Muļivanovs, whom he described as a pro-Kremlin activist, had previously organized street actions in Riga and had gone to the Cabinet of Ministers with posters. Kasems claimed that Muļivanovs had participated in a conference at the Moscow Institute of CIS Countries, where, according to him, the future of the indigenous peoples of the Baltic States was discussed in the event of the region's occupation. According to Kasems, Muļivanovs has not returned to Latvia after moving to Russia and obtained Russian citizenship in 2024. He pointed out that Ruslans Pankratovs had been looking for Muļivanovs, but publicly available Russian court databases contained a record of a person with the same full name being detained on April 3 under article 159 of the Russian Criminal Code for fraud. Kasems added that in the case materials, the suspect was described as someone who had recently obtained citizenship and was officially unemployed in Russia, and claimed that fraud could carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Kasems sarcastically asked whether Muļivanovs' supporters would act on the principle of "not leaving their own behind" and suggested that the detention could be an attempt to force him to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense and send him to war. He also noted that he had anticipated Allas Berezovska's reaction to the detention, but according to him, she had not written about this case. #vatņiki #krievija #nvsInstitūts #propaganda #muļivanovs #krievija #vatņiki #nvsInstitūts (translated)

The ministry believes that the statement regarding the fact that NATO's future will be discussed in the Bergen format this week is exaggerated, considering that significant decisions about NATO's strategy are made in the North Atlantic Council, and the Baltic states continue to strengthen their defense and the U.S. military presence in the region. #NATO #BaltijasValstis #Aizsardzība (translated)

"Es domāju, šī apetīte uz risku Krievijai tikai pieaug un mums jārēķinās – atkal ne tikai šeit, Baltijas valstīs, bet visā Eiropā – ka šis [risks] pieaugs, palielināsies. Un, ja kādreiz mēs uztraucamies par terorismu kā tādu ideoloģisku elementu, tad tagad mūsu realitāte būs valstu sponsorēts terorisms par kritisko infrastruktūru un citiem liela efekta momentiem."NATO Stratēģiskās komunikācijas izcilības centra direktors Jānis Sārts intervijā Latvijas Televīzijas raidījumā "Viens pret vienu" sacīja, ka viņaprāt mums – Eiropai un Baltijas valstīm līdz šim ir paveicies, ka agresorvalstu hibrīdkara operācijas ir izgāzušas vai beigušās bez cilvēku upuriem. #Krievija #Ukraina #Eiropa
