President: No direct military threats from Russia observed, but vigilance needed
President Edgars Rinkēvičs stated on Wednesday that no direct military threats from Russia are currently observed, but the public must remain vigilant.

On Wednesday, July 22, President Edgars Rinkēvičs told journalists that there are no direct military threats from Russia at this time. However, he emphasized that society must stay vigilant and monitor the security situation.
The president's remarks came in response to questions about regional security and potential risks. He did not mention specific incidents or intelligence data but stressed the need for awareness and preparedness.
This statement comes amid continued international attention on the region. The president did not elaborate on whether vigilance applies to specific scenarios, but his message was clear: there is no cause for concern about an immediate military threat, but the situation can change, so caution is warranted.
It is not the first time officials have called for prudence without indicating acute threats. The president's comments align with other security experts' assessments that Russia's military activity in the region has decreased, yet long-term risks persist.
The public is advised to follow official sources and avoid disinformation.
