"We have a crazy neighbor." Baltic states prepare for Russian invasion
The Baltics are preparing for different scenarios
Journalists drew attention to the fact that green signs with the word "patvertne" — "shelter" — are already appearing in Latvia, indicating shelter in the event of an attack.
This is another sign that the Baltic countries are aware of the seriousness of the threat posed by the Russian Federation.
Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds made a statement on this matter.
According to the latter, his country is "on the front lines" and has already developed a certain resilience in the face of new challenges.
What is important to understand is that Latvia is actively developing drone initiatives and investing in defense together with NATO allies.
US Ambassador to the Alliance Matthew Whitaker said that a potential war may not start with tanks:
The first shot of the next war will not be tanks across the Suwalki Strait. It will be the destruction of airports or cyberattacks.
Former Deputy Mayor of Riga Linda Ozola officially confirmed that the city is restoring the shelter system, creating food reserves, and developing a mobile application for quickly finding shelters.
"The truth is not good — we have a crazy neighbor who wants to destroy our country. And he doesn't even hide it," she emphasized.
