During the High-Level Week of the 81st session of the @UN 🇺🇳 General Assembly in New York, Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba highlighted the global consequences of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, Belarus’s support for Russia’s war, as well as Black Sea security and food security issues.
Latvia stressed again: Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 sovereignty is non-negotiable.

Finally! A joint EU decision to release 6.6 billion EUR from the European Peace Facility for Ukraine. 🇪🇺🇺🇦 Increasing support to Ukraine and more pressure on Russia is the only way to peace. #StandWithUkrainehttps://t.co/poKnWFFr98
EU Member States have agreed on the terms for releasing €6.6 billion European Peace Facility funds for Ukraine. That’s good news for Ukraine and bad news for Russia. €900 million are for the EU’s Military Assistance Mission for Ukraine. €1 billion will fund new joint procurement of equipment. And €4.7 billion will reimburse Member States, with some already saying they will channel their share to Ukraine. Moscow’s hybrid attacks try to intimidate Europe into scaling back its support for Ukraine. Europe is doing the opposite.

All shelter locations on one map 🗺️📢 The State Land Service, in cooperation with the State Fire and Rescue Service, has created a shelter map that shows shelter locations in one place. The map is freely available to everyone without authorization on the portal. I encourage everyone to check where shelters are located near your home, workplace, and children's schools. It is the state's duty to help prepare for a potential crisis and make important information easily accessible. The shelter map is a concrete step in this direction; work on civil defense must continue! Thanks to the State Land Service and the State Fire and Rescue Service for this joint effort!

@JurgisLiepnieks@AlbertsZiemelis Nothing - will it also include what was said about court rulings? As for mutual sympathies and antipathies, I have no interest in delving into, but does the gentleman really also ramble about court rulings?
Italy's Senate voted with a 2/3 majority to return to nuclear energy. Next year the government will adopt AES licensing rules. What will you say, JV wind nerds?
It is very amusing to watch how people defend two mutually exclusive positions. There are those who proclaim themselves great patriots, adorn themselves with LV and UA flags, but support a fossil-fuel-supporting policy, which is a strategically wrong choice for our country both economically and geopolitically. Hiding behind decorative struggles to divert attention. RU grain transit and whiskey trade in the opposite direction are secondary/trivial issues for their economy. Continuing the use of petroleum products in transport is the most important issue of all. This helps to understand why political forces in Europe that support RU are also enthusiastic fighters against the Green Deal.
Andris Kulbergs (United List) is filling out a friend book! ✍️📖 Before October 3, new voter Toms reminds about friend books and invites prime ministerial candidates to fill them out too! Follow other candidates' responses on our social media! Before the elections, the 'Ir' editorial team gathered young people who explained what issues concern them and what they expect from the next Saeima. They had the opportunity to ask politicians their questions.

No. Do not even think that I could advance a mechanism that would increase the number of foreigners in Latvia. The scheme is much more complicated. This is not about the combined number that increases every year. For many residence permits, there is an obligation to re-register after just one year. Most of the quota would be filled by foreigners who have already been living in Latvia for a long time with the right to employment, for example, a foreigner who is a family member of a Latvian citizen. As a result, the total number of residence permits would drop sharply. The system provides that the figure is reassessed every year based on the opinions of the competent authorities.
@janisdombrava Please explain! 2% new migrants every year? That would be 36,000 third-world migrants EVERY YEAR? After 20 years migrants would be 720,000. That's called restricting?
Published this week: an interesting and definitely read-worthy analysis from @EUvsDisinfo team on the pro-Kremlin FIMI efforts against the Baltic States, aimed at spreading fear and weakening confidence in NATO. https://t.co/PwndEqHqWz
TOP2 @Arlietas tasks in reducing bureaucracy for 🇱🇻 citizens and entrepreneurs: ✅ consular visits where many Latvian citizens live abroad; ✅ simplified issuance of permits for strategic goods (military and dual-use), and exports are growing rapidly. https://t.co/u37K4zhJaj
https://t.co/scpLTlw8Ym Have you seen a rooster that sticks peacock feathers into its own ass. What does he even have to do with those escalators. He only became the Great Riga Progressive Fool on 27 June 2025. He neither designed it during his time, nor took the funding. And construction was already in full swing. His most epochal achievement so far is the meaningless blocks dumped on Liena Street...
