Latvia continues to strengthen the borders with Russia and Belarus. The armed forces should inform the population about the work, according to the country's chief governor. Latvia Prime Minister Evik Silin has compared the Russian Federation with an unpredictable neighbor or drug addict whose behavior cannot be predicted. Silina said this in an interview with Latvijas Radio on Friday, March 8.

The head of the Latvian government has warned that countries that are Russian neighbors should be aware of it. "We live near a neighbor who can be said to be like an alcoholic or addict whose actions we cannot predict. We have to realize that we live near Russia, Belarus," Silin said. According to her, Latvia adheres to a clear plan for strengthening the borders with these both states. "We have built a land border with Belarus, now we build a border with Russia.

We strengthen the military potential of our border. We are acting on a clear plan," said Prime Minister Latvia. She also appealed to people who sometimes live "in their bubbles and their realities. " Silin urged the national armed forces to inform the regional press about what work will be carried out on the eastern border of the country.
