Latvia’s Government Shock: Evika Siliņa resigned after coalition allies quit over Ukraine-linked drone incidents, including a fire at an eastern oil site and criticism of air-defence response—turning a security failure into a full-blown political crisis ahead of October elections. Ukraine–Russia Escalation: Kyiv says Russia is weighing attacks from Belarus and continues “virtually nonstop” strikes, while Zelenskiy promises retaliation against Russia’s oil and military targets. NATO on the Clock: Canada’s brigade in Latvia says it has moved beyond “tripwire” deterrence toward credible defence on the ground. Eurovision Fallout: Latvia failed to qualify for the 2026 final as the Grand Final in Vienna heads to Saturday’s running order. Energy Anxiety in Europe: New analysis highlights how countries with weak fiscal room and heavy energy import dependence face the biggest price-shock risk—while Ireland is flagged as exposed despite better finances. Local Links to Moldova: Latvian officials shared local administration reform experience with Moldova’s government, focusing on stronger town halls and better use of EU funds.
