Otto Ozols, after Ragozin's expulsion, asked whether people in Latvia would be named who, in his opinion, helped Ragozin gain publicity and spread Kremlin propaganda, which he presented as investigative journalism. Ozols claimed that Ragozin and his accomplices deliberately spread lies in Latvia before Russia's full-scale attack on Ukraine to discredit Ukraine and diminish Western support. Ozols wrote that Ragozin had allies in Latvia connected to Sarmīte Ēlerte's so-called "Ministry of Truth." He described Ēlerte as an active backroom operative of the New Unity party and an unofficial representative of the party's propaganda efforts. Ozols asserted that there had been no doubt about Ragozin's activities from the very beginning and asked why New Unity had not noticed and acted on it for years. He also associated this question with the transit of manganese ore and Russian grain. Ozols expressed that representatives of New Unity should not be allowed to handle state foreign affairs or security issues. He also wrote that Latvian Radio News, Krustpunktā, and LTV News would likely not investigate or discuss these connections. #Latvija #KremļaPropaganda #Mediķi (translated)
