Instead of peace talks, Russia continues its terror against Ukrainian civilians. Last night, Ukrainian cities, including the building of the government in Kyiv experienced the largest drone and missile attack since the beginning of war. Russian drones and missiles killed and wounded civilians, including small children. The sanctions pressure on Russian war criminals must be increased.

Another night of massive terror. russia launched 805 attack drones and 13 missiles against Ukraine. The strikes targeted Kyiv and its metropolitan area, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Kremenchuk, Odesa, Kharkiv, Starokostiantyniv, and other communities. There are fatalities and dozens of wounded. For the first time, the central government building was also damaged. These are deliberate attacks on cities and civilians. The democratic world must respond with decisive action: stronger sanctions against the aggressor and reinforced defence of Ukraine.

My deepest condolences to the family members, friends and fellow soldiers of Warrant Officer George Hohl, who served in Latvia as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces within the NATO’s Multinational brigade. https://t.co/48hu9lS5Gj

It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of Warrant Officer George Hohl, a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. Warrant Officer Hohl was deployed as part of NATO’s Multinational Brigade Latvia under Operation REASSURANCE — a brigade I had the honour of spending time with late last month. On behalf of all Canadians, I offer my deepest condolences to Warrant Officer Hohl’s family, friends, and to all those who served with him.

@Astalbergs But of course I admit - by telling how bad everything is in the country, maybe you'll find your place in Latvia. That is now popular for gentlemen like you.

@DDaugavietis45 I'll also modestly answer the giant of Latvian grammar - it's 'mājinieki' not 'mājnieki' 😂 I don't have to swallow anything, but you might have a lot to swallow in the near future because of the selection fiasco :):)

Very sad and shocking news about the brutal murder of Andriy Parubiy, a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and former chairman. My deepest condolences to the victim's family, friends and colleagues. This is an attack on democracy! A thorough investigation must be carried out and the murderers should be punished.

The State Flag of Ukraine has been lowered over the building of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. In this way, we honour the memory of Andriy Parubiy — a Member of Parliament for several convocations and the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of the VIII convocation, who was killed in Lviv. His death is a great loss for the Parliament and for all of Ukraine. The flag will remain lowered for three days as a symbol of mourning and deep respect. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine extends its sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Andriy Parubiy. Eternal memory.

34 years ago, a country was born that still has to fight for its freedom today. The people of Ukraine inspire the whole world with their courage and perseverance. Latvia will continue to stand by Ukraine – humanely, militarily, and politically, because this is also a fight for Europe's freedom and values. I wish that soon Ukraine's blue skies and fertile land may find shelter in a just peace. 🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!

After this KGB-style botch-up with illiterate errors, it will be very hard for the State Police and the interior minister to claim that the police are short of staff and resources. https://t.co/IHCztMWTeu

THIS IS INSANITY!!! 😱 Which place exactly does the finance minister with the prime minister at the head mean??? 👉🏽 It is no longer concealable that by 2029 the Latvian government plans to borrow at least another 8 BILLION euros, thus the total debt will reach almost 30 BILLION EUROS 🤯 - i.e. approximately 17,000 EUROS PER EVERY LATVIAN RESIDENT, including children and pensioners 💶💶💶. Looks like state bankruptcy!!!

🇱🇻 We have always believed in our country! So 34 years ago, the law 'On the State Status of the Republic of Latvia' was adopted, which restored Latvia's de facto independence, allowing us to return to the family of democratic countries! I congratulate you on the day of restoration of the de facto independence of the Republic of Latvia!

🤔 Is the quality of Latvia's surface waters good? Today at the conference organized by the regulator, the state secretary of the Ministry of Climate and Energy had prepared a substantial presentation on the ministry's current affairs, in which this slide on water quality 'caught' the most. https://t.co/L58ZZj0sHh
