''After a missile strike killed two people in Poland last week, a consequence of the war raging in Ukraine, Latvia is reminding the world that it, too, is exposed to the Russian threat. It shares 300 kilometres of border with Russia, which has annexed it twice in its history.
This risk of being swallowed up again "cannot (be) ruled out," Col. Didzis Nestro, acting head of the Latvian army's land component, said in an interview with The Canadian Press last week.''

"It seems that all the wars that Russia has tended to wage, starting from Chechnya, are all kind of directed to regain access points (from the USSR era and tsarist Russia before that) … and to safeguard the access points to the outer world," Nestro said, speaking in a modest office in a large military complex on the outskirts of the Latvian capital of Riga.

"If we go around the Russian border line, then we can see that basically all the countries bordering Russia are, in this way, endangered," said Nestro, who is also acting chief of staff for government affairs.''

"That's why we as a country — and the alliance in general — have a certain sense of alertness to face any of these kind of unpredicted situations because Russia and (its President Vladimir) Putin is unpredictable."

“There have been almost 400 shelling occasions in the east since the beginning of the day,” he said in his nightly address, without elaborating.

He said the fiercest fighting was in the Donetsk region. That’s the area that Mr. Zelensky described last week as a “hell” because of Russian attacks, drawing attention to one of the war’s most entrenched battlegrounds even as the country celebrated the recapture of the southern city of Kherson.

The Kremlin announced in April that its military priority was to capture all of Donetsk and the neighboring region of Luhansk, which together are known as the Donbas. By July it could claim to have captured the last city in Luhansk.

A rout of Russian forces in September in parts of the Kharkiv region, which borders the Luhansk region, raised the prospect that Ukrainian forces might advance quickly in Donetsk. But military analysts say that Donetsk presents a stiff challenge, in part because a section of it was seized in 2014 by Moscow-backed separatists who have had years to dig defensive positions.

On Monday, the AP fired James LaPorta, the investigative reporter responsible for that story, Confider has learned.


The piece, which was originally co-bylined with John Leicester (who is still working at the AP), attributed the information to a single “senior U.S. intelligence official,” despite the AP’s rule that it “routinely seeks and requires more than one source when sourcing is anonymous.”
