Ukrainian Drones Force Latvia Prime Minister to Resign Amid Defense Crisis
Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina resigned Thursday after her coalition party withdrew support for the sacking of Defence Minister Andris Spruds. The decision came following repeated incursions by Ukrainian drones into Latvia, prompting criticism of Silina's handling of the defense situation. While Silina blamed Spruds for not deploying anti-drone systems quickly enough, experts suggest a need for improved border control and intelligence sharing between NATO allies. This development highlights growing tensions with Ukraine and potential ramifications for regional security and defense cooperation within the alliance.
