This comes after the Intelligence Service SVR warned Latvia that its NATO membership would not shield it from retaliation.
The constant fearmongering over the Ukrainian drones over the Baltic countries just took a nasty turn as Russia is accusing Latvia of hosting Kiev’s drones used to attack Russian territory.

And what’s more, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the Russian military is preparing an ‘appropriate’ response to Ukraine’s alleged use of the Baltic territory to launch drone strikes.
Moscow Times reported:
“This problem exists, and our relevant services, primarily the military in this case, are closely monitoring the situation and formulating our country’s necessary response,” Peskov told the pro-Kremlin tabloid Izvestia, though he did not specify the scope of the measures.”
This worrying warning comes a day after Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) threatened Latvia.
The spy service stated Latvia’s NATO membership will not shield it from retaliation.
“Latvia’s foreign minister accused the SVR of running a disinformation campaign amid an internal political crisis triggered by Ukrainian drones straying into Latvian airspace and crashing.
U.S. Deputy Representative to the UN Tammy Bruce said that ‘there is no place for threats’ against Latvia, assuring member states that Washington ‘keeps all of its NATO commitments’.”
