Putin threatens Latvia with "repercussions" re: language policies. The faux concern is gaslighting — we treat our minorities with the utmost respect and as an equal part of our society. Unlike Putin who treats Russia's minorities as cannon fodder.

Hungary's alignment with Iran is an alignment also with Putin's coalition alongside Russia and North Korea, and it is both reprehensible and alarming. Our tolerance emboldens them. Hungary is a member of both NATO and the EU, yet its allegiances are increasingly coming into

Orban’s visit to Moscow, just like his govt’s previous visits to Teheran and Minsk, does nothing but play into the hands of the aggressors. Quite frankly - it’s pathetic. Does he plan to deliver the ICC arrest warrant or collaborate with a suspected war criminal? He undermines EU

lēmumu - Nacionālās drošības koncepciju -, turklāt to nodēvējot par “Nacionālās apvienības ideju”, raisa vairākus jautājumus. Ir svarīgi atcerēties, ka Latvijas drošības un valodas politikas jautājumi ir mūsu pašu

Only a strategically defeated and demilitarised 🇷🇺 and a fully liberated Ukraine, can be the driving force for long-term peace in Europe. If we wish to achieve this, there can’t be any delays in arming Ukraine so it can defeat the invader. Each day of hesitation brings suffering.

While Ukrainians show bravery in the face of Russian aggression, it seems as if fear, rather than courage, still dominates among many Western leaders. Four fears, to be exact.

They say Latvia’s the smallest country to ever win a medal at
#IIHFWorlds
. But there is nothing small about the way we celebrate and welcome our 🥉 medalists back! 🇱🇻🏒🇱🇻
@lhf_lv
We should all embrace our semi-victories, just as Latvia celebrates its historic bronze medal at the hockey world championship. I mean it!

As we’re wrapping up our visit, I must admit that I was quite struck by the lack of urgency in Washington about the war. The imaginary distance from the U.S. to Ukraine seems to be increasing, as if the war in Ukraine is something very far away and does not affect the U.S. By
European lawmakers are issuing increasingly bleak warnings about the future of the war in Ukraine and the continent’s security as a $60 billion U.S. aid package for Kyiv continues to languish on Capitol Hill, FP’s

9. maija “svinību” aizstāvji no mums prasa empātiju - mums jāsaprot, cik svarīgs šis datums ir daļai sabiedrības. Bet viņus ne mirkli nav interesējis tas, ka tas 9. maija balagāns absolūtajam vairākumam sabiedrības ir kā spļāviens sejā.

Ungārijas lēmums atvieglot ceļošanu Krievijas un Baltkrievijas pilsoņiem apdraud ES drošību un grauj Šengenas integritāti. Ļaujot ieceļot nepārbaudītām personām no naidīgām valstīm, Ungārija rada bīstamas nepilnības. Eiropas vienotību nedrīkst upurēt uz samiernieciskuma altāra.
