THE Latvia announced that he preached emergency situation on the border with Russiain the wake of the partial mobilization announced in a recent speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The state of emergency, which comes into force on Wednesday and will last for three months, affects areas in the eastern part of the country – which is a member of the EU and NATO – including airports and train stations.
The Latvian government has also decided to close the Pedetse border crossing in order to limit the number of Russians entering the country. In addition, the border guard was ordered to increase its patrols on the border with Russia.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs assures that currently the situation on the Latvian-Russian border remains under control. However, in the wake of the partial conscription announced by the Kremlin, the number of Russians fleeing their country has increased significantly. Therefore, there is a risk of a sharp increase in the number of irregular immigrants, adds the Latvian Ministry of the Interior.
The Latvian government has also declared a state of emergency on the border with Belarus since August 2021, when thousands of migrants tried to cross the border.
