Baltic power Latvia claims it is currently engaged in a hybrid war with Russia!

Despite the huge disparity in strength, Latvia confidently prepares to challenge the Russian armed forces. The country's Minister of Defense, Andris Spruds, stated that Latvia is currently in a hybrid war with Russia.

"Formally, we are not at war with Russia, but we are also not at peace. We are engaged in a hybrid war, which is a reality we must face. We must take this reality into account and be prepared for it."

Since September 11, the Latvian authorities have decided to completely close the airspace within 50 kilometers of the eastern border of the country. According to the Latvian National Armed Forces' risk assessment of a potential Russian invasion, Spruds emphasized that although Latvia currently does not face an immediate threat from Russia, preventive measures are necessary.
