From@VL_TBLNNKNA proposes to permanently close the airspace near the eastern border at least until the end of 'Zapad'; exercises continue. @IMurniece: A number of countries have experienced airspace violations. Even after the active phase of 'Zapad' ends, increased control must be maintained. https://t.co/0C7sRuwkvn

It is truly gratifying that despite Russia's intense and ongoing attempts to influence the electoral process, the Moldovan nation has demonstrated its steadfast resilience against the hybrid warfare and has clearly chosen Europe over the geopolitical gray zone. Congratulations to Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd and Igor Grosu @Igor_Grosu_md! 🇱🇻🫱🏻🫲🏼🇲🇩
Sadly, the inhuman aggressor's terror against the Ukrainian civilians continues. Last night, the aggressor state continuously attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles for 12 hours, killing and injuring dozens of people, including children. The pressure of sanctions must continue, the frozen assets must finally be confiscated and given to Ukraine in order to strenghten its air defense. Ukraine is doing everything possible to sit down at the negotiating table, while the aggressor only continues to terrorize and kill.
From@r_stefanchukAt least four people, including a 12-year-old girl, were killed as a result of another huge russian attack on Ukraine. About 40 others were injured, including children. My deepest condolences to all the families and loved ones of the victims. In Kyiv, the Institute of Cardiology building was damaged, while residential houses and civilian infrastructure were affected. The attack lasted for more than 12 hours: nearly 500 kamikaze drones and over 40 missiles, including “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles, were launched against the capital and its region, as well as Zaporizhzhia, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, and Odesa regions. This is deliberate russian terror, aimed at civilians. putin once again proved: he is not seeking peace but wants to continue the war and killing. russia fights as long as it has money. Ukraine is doing everything to deprive the aggressor of these resources and to force it into real negotiations. But the world must act too: strengthening sanctions, shutting down evasion schemes, using frozen russian assets for Ukraine’s recovery, and most importantly — providing swift and systematic reinforcement of our air defence and overall defence capabilities.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the congress today and made a choice, including voting for me. 🙏 I wish Edmunds Jurevics endurance and high goals - @Jauna_Vienotiba must be elected to the next Saeima not as the lesser evil, but as the greatest good! 🇱🇻 https://t.co/JvutjwLkDw
From@Jauna_Vienotiba“If we are writing history today, this vote is not only about the party leader, but also about the future of UNITY and the future of Latvia. We must be elected not as the lesser evil, but as the greatest good. We can do it,” emphasizes @andacaksa, candidate for the chair of the UNITY board. #Kongress2025 #VienotiSpēkamUnDrošībai

The increase in medical workers' remuneration demanded by the Latvian Health and Social Care Workers' Trade Union, 13.5% next year, will be difficult to implement. 'That is rather impossible,' Finance Minister Arvils Ašeradens (New Unity) admitted on #Krustpunktā. 🎧 https://t.co/DtwYfh51MT https://t.co/GyR1VCIWRt

From@NaurisPuntulisIstanbul Convention vote. Heated atmosphere, some let emotions get the better of them, insulting those who express a contrary opinion, calling them supporters of violence. Unacceptable!

From NA's side, this is pure, honest and consistent politics – without backroom intrigues and hidden agreements, which cannot be said about the time of the adoption of the Istanbul Convention 2 years ago: the process itself, its consequences will remain in history as a canonical example of a dirty political market. https://t.co/93ChA1AuZH
The Greens and Farmers Union is starting to retreat quite quickly from the agreement that formed the coalition, says Finance Minister Arvils Ašeradens (JV) in #Krustpunktā, reflecting on today's Saeima vote to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention.
Friends! Finally!!! The iceberg has moved! Just now in the Saeima, with the support of a majority of deputies (special thanks to ZZS), a vote was taken FOR Latvia's withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Next, this will be reviewed in committee and hopefully will soon return to the Saeima for the final vote. Thank you all for your support! ❤️
From@ltvzinas“This is a vote on values, and I urge ZZS not to yield to pressure from coalition partners,” Saeima deputy @JanisVitenbergs (NA) said in a conversation about the plan to denounce the Istanbul Convention on “Rīta Panorāma”. 🖥 https://t.co/68BUtNKjEb https://t.co/A0Kk2P9YHg

Today's vote showed the proportion between supporters of conservative and liberal values in society: the democratic majority is with supporters of conservative policy, despite the public media's efforts to change this proportion.
Wow, have @ZZS_ changed their left-liberal ideological course?
From@VilnisKirsisWe met with @IZM_gov_lv minister Dace Melbārde and her team to discuss current education issues in Riga: the 2026 state budget, the Unified School, work on a unified IT application system for admitting students to 10th grade.

I congratulate @dacemelbarde and @IZM_gov_lv on the historic bronze in cricket at Amber Cup 2025. Truly mighty! 🤦 Who allowed these “students” to wear such uniforms and call themselves the Latvian national team? Photos:https://t.co/vE5aDmcF7L https://t.co/ie7HOk2xUJ
Which, of course, is also interesting - the IOC, just like before the Paris Games, announces its decision on Friday evening. Probably a coincidence :)) https://t.co/A2GwgHk0Ta
From@DDaugavietis45The Olympic Games should not be allowed to be turned into an instrument that normalizes Russia's crimes in Ukraine. Unfortunately, the new president of the Olympic Committee is also making the same mistake as the previous leader. Sport IS also politics! Athletes from aggressor countries should not be there! https://t.co/vW7Ns1HBAT

⚠️ Yesterday in the Saeima, our so important issues such as VAT reduction and corporate income tax reduction were NOT SUPPORTED by a majority of votes!!! And furthermore, a deputy from New Unity allowed himself to criticize us from the podium for proposals that are unimportant to our state ❌ But there is also good news! With a majority of votes in favor, our submitted bills on introducing criminal liability for putting children on puberty blockers and performing sex change operations, as well as a ban on underage (!) children participating in events promoting LGBT ideology (e.g., pride parades), were supported. Thank you to the deputies for their support in these votes 🤝 This is yet another proof that JV understands nothing about the painful topics in Latvian society. They have been detached from reality for too long.
