Moscow launched a fierce attack on Latvia at the UN on Monday. Vasily Nebenzia, Russia’s representative to the Security Council, accused Riga, without providing any evidence, of allowing Ukraine to use its territory to prepare drone strikes against Russia. The Russian diplomat then threatened the Baltic state with military retaliation, claiming that NATO would not come to its aid, even though Latvia has been a member of the organisation since 2004. Highly aggressive Russian spies Before Nebenzia’s outburst at the UN, the SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service, had levelled similar accusations against Latvia the day before. Russian spies even named five Latvian military bases where Ukrainian soldiers are reportedly already stationed to prepare their attacks against Russia. “The abject Russophobia of Latvia's current rulers proved stronger than their critical thinking and sense of self-preservation,” the SVR said. "Russia is lying again! This time it is the SVR or the External Intelligence Service running a disinformation campaign against Latvia," Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze said on X.
