Latvia's President on the new world order and the Russian threat to Europe | Edgars Rinkēvičs

Описание: Latvia’s perspective on security in Europe is deeply shaped by its geographical proximity to Russia, its history, and its position as a "frontline" state within NATO and the EU. The overarching viewpoint is that Russian aggression constitutes an existential threat, requiring a strategy of strong national resilience, robust deterrence, and a proactive defensive posture.

The President of Latvia said that: "The post-Cold War era is over and that world order has gone [...] Not, let's say, last year here at Munich. It's gone by the Russian invasion of Georgia, of the occupation of Crimea, of war that has started 4 years ago – the full-scale war that Russia started against Ukraine. And we have seen clear inability of international system to deal with that […] in an efficient way. So yes, I agree that there is emerging new order. Yes, I agree that there is a kind of desire to divide world into spheres of influence. And I think that history of the Baltic states of Latvia or Poland or […] many other countries in the Central and Eastern Europe showed that this is very dangerous. It's dangerous for our existence, and we need to take this very, very seriously. But at the same time, I think that then we have to ask the question about great powers. Do we consider China, the United States, as great powers? Yes. The big question is about Russia. Yes. It's a dangerous regional power. It presents clear and present danger"
