Russia prepares lawsuit against Baltic states; Latvia sees it as hybrid warfare
Russia accuses Baltic states of violating the rights of Russian-speaking residents and is preparing a lawsuit at the International Court of Justice. Latvia views this as part of hybrid warfare and political pressure.
Russia is preparing to file a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice against the Baltic states, accusing them of violating the rights of Russian-speaking residents. Latvian officials consider this step part of Russia's hybrid warfare strategy, aimed at exerting political pressure on Latvia and its allies.
The legal process could take years and may become one of the most extensive court cases Latvia has ever faced. Journalists from Re:Baltica, Delfi, and LRT have investigated who is behind the preparation of this case and what goals the Kremlin might be pursuing.
These issues were discussed on the LSM program "Let's Discuss in the Evening."
