ARKTIS ENTSCHEIDET UKRAINE 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 "Die baltischen und europäischen Hauptstädte geben sich einer gefährlichen Fehleinschätzung hin: weder Washington noch Moskau sind wirklich an der Schlacht um die Ukraine interessiert. Der Krieg in Europa dient ganz anderen Zielen. Über diese verdeckte Agenda der Weltmächte wird ab dem 15. August in Alaska am Rande der Arktis verhandelt. Ohne die Europäer. Ohne Kiew. Dabei geht es um bis zu 15 Prozent der noch nicht ausgebeuteten Ressourcen der Menschheit für das 21. Jahrhundert. Davon kontrolliert Russland gut 50 Prozent in der Arktis, an die Alaska grenzt. Die USA wollen darauf partnerschaftlich zugreifen. Ein Albtraum für Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius."

Alaska-Gipfel: Die Arktis entscheidet die Ukraine
Die baltischen und europäischen Hauptstädte geben sich einer gefährlichen Fehleinschätzung hin: weder Washington noch Moskau sind wirklich an der Schlacht um die Ukraine interessiert. Der Krieg in
LETA, August 15, 2025: "Russian Prosecutor General's Office has filed a lawsuit in Moscow Arbitration Court against Latvia's Rietumu Banka, claiming that properties of the bank be confiscated and handed over to the state of Russia, Interfax news agency reports.
The application was submitted on August 12 but has not yet been accepted for proceedings. The details of the claim have not been disclosed.
Among the defendants are Rietumu Banka, the Bank of Latvia, Rietumu Banka's representative office in Moscow, as well as Rietumu Banka's companies KI INVEST and RB Investments.
The third parties in the case are the Russian Federal Agency for State Property Management (Rosimushchestvo), the Central Bank of Russia, and Moscow Center for International Cooperation.
A source familiar with the lawsuit told Interfax that the Russian prosecutor general's claim refers to 'unlawful seizure of Russian state property by the Republic of Latvia,' and the fact that on February 25, 2022 Rietumu Banka blocked funds of Moscow Center for International Cooperation in the amount of over USD 81,000, claiming that this was necessary in accordance with the sanctions against the Russian Federation.
According to the Russian Prosecutor General's Office, these actions are unlawful and undermine economic sovereignty of Russia.
KI Invest owns several properties in Moscow and Moscow Oblast. The Russian Prosecutor's Office claims in the lawsuit that all KI Invest shares, movable and immovable property, as well as Rietumu Banka representative office in Moscow be arrested, as well as all securities, shares, and stakes in legal entities owned by these companies.
Rietumu Banka's representative Janis Zagars told LETA that the bank had not yet received any official information about these developments and therefore had no comment.
Rietumu Banka said in its 2023 annual report that the bank no longer made new investments or launched new projects in Russia and Belarus, and that, in line with its 2023-2028 business development strategy, the bank was only engaged in winding down past investments and fulfilling its obligations in the two countries. The bank said that it was reducing its exposure in Russia and Belarus, and that the process would be complete by the end of 2024.
LETA also reported, in order to guarantee the security of Latvia, including the prevention and timely prevention of threats to the democratic state, the Saeima adopted a law on the transfer of the so-called Moscow House in Riga to state ownership in January 2024. The government, in turn, transferred the building to the Ministry of Finance, so that the State Real Estate Agency could then sell it at auction."

FLUCHT VOR DEUTSCHER OSTSEEKÜSTE 🇩🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻 "Die Flucht vor der Ostsee hat sich die Region selbst geschaffen, wenn die Preise steigen, ohne dass mehr geboten wird', so Enrico Becher aus Sachsen. Er meidet die Ostsee schon länger als Reiseziel und zwar nicht nur wegen steigender Preise [...] Negativ aufgefallen sei ihm unter anderem, dass viele Händler, Eisverkäufer und Gastronomen noch immer keine Karten- oder Handyzahlung akzeptierten. Online-Reservierungen seien kaum möglich. Auch die Tatsache, dass es keinen 5G-Empfang gebe, sehe er kritisch. Zudem seien die Preise deutlich überproportional gestiegen: Ein einfacher Kaffee koste vielerorts inzwischen vier Euro, ein Viertelliter Wein zehn bis zwölf Euro [...] Es sei nicht verwunderlich, dass viele Gäste inzwischen die polnische Ostsee bevorzugen [...] Viele Urlauber empfinden das Preisniveau vor Ort als überhöht, was bei einigen dazu führt, den Urlaub an günstigere Orte oder ins Ausland zu verlegen."

KRIEGSGRUND DRINGEND GESUCHT 💣💥☢️ "Im Konflikt mit Russland um das Eindringen russischer Drohnen und Kampfjets in den Luftraum europäischer NATO-Staaten werden in Deutschland Forderungen nach einer ungehemmten Eskalation laut. Jede 'militärische Grenzverletzung' müsse künftig 'mit militärischen Mitteln beantwortet' werden – 'bis hin zum Abschuss russischer Kampfjets', fordert der außenpolitische Sprecher der CDU/CSU-Fraktion im Bundestag, Jürgen Hardt. Identische Forderungen werden etwa in den baltischen Staaten laut. Hinweise, es gebe für den Umgang mit Kampfjets im eigenen Luftraum klare Regularien der NATO, die einen Abschuss aus gutem Grund allenfalls als 'Ultima Ratio' zuließen, verhallen weithin ungehört, obwohl sie auch von einer bekannten Hardlinerin kommen. Im Gespräch ist außerdem die Option, russische Flugobjekte über ukrainischem Territorium abzuschießen – also in den Ukraine-Krieg zu intervenieren –, darüber hinaus die Möglichkeit, die Ostsee für russische Öltanker zu sperren; eine faktische Seeblockade wäre ein Kriegsgrund."

"Im 35. Jahr der erst 1990 wiedererlangten staatlichen Einheit sind die Deutschen, egal wo sie leben, sich weniger einig als jemals zuvor in ihrer langen Geschichte. Die Risse gehen spätestens seit der Ära Merkel durch alle Lebensbereiche. Familien, Freunde, Kollegen liegen im Streit. Über das, was noch gerade so eben gesagt, gedacht, gemeint werden darf. Darüber wie man zum Parteienstaat auf der 'guten Seite der Brandmauer' in Bund und Ländern steht.
Diese toxische Lage erreichte längst auch die Gemeinschaft der in Lettland lebenden Deutschen. Nicht jedermann darf noch mit jedem sprechen, will man seine Karriere oder sein soziales Umfeld nicht gefährden. Ein herausfordernder sozialer Spannungsraum für die Gestaltung des Nationalfeiertags der Deutschen am 3. Oktober, den 'Tag der deutschen Einheit'.
Happy End: Die Deutsche Einheit wurde sehr schön hergestellt.
Aber erstmal nur in Riga."

DEINDUSTRIALISATION, DECLINE, FAILING GERMANY 🇩🇪📉 🇺🇲 "With the chemical industry in crisis, another central pillar of the German economy is crumbling. The main causes: abandoning cheap Russian energy and accepting Trump’s imposition of duty-free imports from the US [...] Following the automotive and steel industries, the chemical industry – another key economic pillar of the German economy – is in trouble. Reports of crisis and collapse in the sector are becoming increasingly urgent. Business analysts say the output of Germany’s chemical industry shrank by around 5 per cent in the second quarter of 2025. They note that overall production is currently at 'the lowest level since 1991'. The industry faces pressures not only from cheap imports from China but, above all, from the EU’s current tariff deal with Washington. The Trump administration has forced the European Union to reduce its tariffs on US imports to zero. US chemical products can now outcompete German-made chemicals. These pressures come on top of the cost impact suffered by the German chemicals sector after losing Russian energy. Having opted out of low-cost pipeline-supplied Russian gas, chemical producers lack a key advantage behind its longstanding competitiveness. Reports of crises are coming from other sectors, too. Indeed, German industrial production overall slumped by as much as 5.6 per cent in August on the previous month. In response, the EU is now resorting to protectionist tariffs against non-US suppliers."

SOME U.S. THINK TANK VIEW ON GERMANY 2.025 🇺🇸 ⚡️ 🇩🇪 "Germany today offers the world a disturbing spectacle: a state in its death throes which, under the guise of democratic virtue, is sinking into authoritarianism. The erosion of civil liberties is not occurring through a coup d'état, but by the slow accumulation of administrative, legal and police measures that shape the contours of a dictatorship as implacable as it is convinced of its own virtue [...] The issue has never been law, but power: the determination of the ruling caste to cling to authority at any cost, even if it means criminalizing a quarter of the German population. Let us not forget: the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany) also claimed to be 'democratic.' [...] In today's Germany, the leading opposition party is not treated as a legitimate actor in the democratic process, but, without any due process, as an enemy within [...] Pensioners, shopkeepers and students are now being prosecuted for criticizing government policy on immigration, climate or healthcare. They are treated as criminals, even as terrorists or arsonists, on charges of 'inciting hatred.' [...] These repressive measures do not target extremists, but ordinary citizens who dare to contest the ideology favored by the party in power. The Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG) reinforces this censorship by forcing internet platforms to delete content under penalty of fines, thereby further eroding the freedom of expression 'guaranteed' by Article 5 of the German Constitution.
This climate of fear — the dread of a police raid at dawn over a comment on Facebook, a "like," a retweet — is ruthless in its cruelty and devastating in its effects on public opinion. It is turning Germany into a Potemkin democracy, where only the official monologue is tolerated [...] The quarantining of the AfD ensures that the left will remain in power indefinitely, regardless of election outcomes. This amounts to rule by a single 'party' and a single ideology — that of the ruling caste. Democratic change through the ballot box in Germany is no longer possible [...] Criminalizing 25% of the electorate is like placing dynamite beneath a shared house. To condemn a quarter of the German population to democratic death — denying them any access to power while repressing even the polite expression of their opinions on social media — is to invite desperate and violent reactions. These reactions will inevitably be seized upon by the ruling caste to justify an even tighter grip on power [...] Germany today faces a fatal spiral. Either it accepts true pluralism and freedom of expression — without which democracy cannot exist — or it succumbs to the temptation of eliminating dissent by judicial and police means, silencing the only genuine opposition [...] Any democracy that outlaws its opposition to the ruling party ceases to exist."

DEUTSCHE BAUERN GEGEN UKRAINE IN EU 🧑🏻🌾🚜 🇺🇦 "Der Bauernbund Brandenburg hat die Wiederherstellung des handelspolitischen Vorkriegszustandes bei einem Friedensschluss im Ukraine-Konflikt gefordert. 'Die Zollgrenze zur Ukraine muss jedenfalls wieder geschlossen werden, keinesfalls darf das Land in die Europäische Union', sagte Bauernbund-Präsident Lutz Wercham. Seit drei Jahren würden Billigimporte von Weizen, Gerste, Mais und Zuckerrüben sowie weiteren Agrarprodukten aus der Ukraine die Märkte in den europäischen Nachbarländern ruinieren mit desaströsen Einkommensverlusten vor allem bei den Marktfruchtbetrieben. Zusätzlich würden die Russland-Sanktionen über massiv gestiegene Düngerpreise höhere Produktionskosten verursachen, kritisiert der 39jährige Ackerbauer aus Wilhelmsaue im Oderland: 'In Brandenburg stehen wir dabei besonders unter Druck mit unserer starken Ausrichtung auf Ackerbau und den vergleichsweise schwachen Böden.' Wenn die Preismisere anhalte, werde es immer schwerer, die heimische Landwirtschaft und Kulturlandschaft noch gegen Spekulanten, Solarparks und Wildnisprojekte zu verteidigen, befürchtet Wercham und verlangt daher einen sofortigen Einfuhrstopp für ukrainische Agrarprodukte.
Der Getreidemarkt sei ein globaler Markt, räumt der Bauernbund ein, aber für die Getreideerzeuger in Brandenburg mache es einen gewaltigen Unterschied, ob die Exporte der Ukraine auf der traditionellen Schwarzmeer-Route direkt in die Mittelmeer-Länder und nach Afrika gelangen oder auf dem Umweg über die polnischen und deutschen Ostseehäfen. Wercham: 'Die großen Mühlen und Lagerhäuser hierzulande füllen ihre Getreidesilos mit billiger ukrainischer Ware und drücken damit bei uns die Preise.'
Die Notwendigkeit von Schutzzöllen begründet Wercham mit der Wettbewerbsverzerrung durch niedrigere soziale und ökologische Standards. So sind in der Ukraine Pflanzenschutzmittel zugelassen, die in der Europäischen Union seit langem nicht mehr angewendet werden dürfen, der Mindestlohn für Landarbeiter beträgt umgerechnet einen Euro pro Stunde. Darüber hinaus sieht der Landwirt aber auch ein grundsätzliches Problem beim Freihandel mit dem osteuropäischen Land: 'Aufgrund ihrer fruchtbaren Schwarzerdeböden ist die Ukraine eine klassische Agrarüberschussregion – selbst wenn alle Standards angeglichen würden, könnte sie uns preislich immer unterbieten.' Angesichts wachsender weltweiter Sicherheitsrisiken müsse die heimische Landwirtschaft Vorrang haben, verlangt der Bauernbund. Einen weiteren Verlust von Ackerflächen und Betrieben könne Brandenburg sich nicht mehr leisten, die Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit Lebensmitteln auch in Krisenzeiten sei systemrelevant."

LATVIAN STATE SECURITY EXPOSES RU 🤫 SPY CELL 🇱🇻 🔍 🇷🇺 Riga, January 19, 2026 (LETA): "At least three people have been arrested in the last two weeks in connection with the so-called Baltic Anti-Fascists group, through which a network of informants has been set up in Latvia, which has been reporting to the Russian special services on the movement of military equipment, Ukrainians and Ukrainian supporters in Latvia and compiling a list of people to be eliminated, commercial TV3 television's analytical news program Neka Personiga (Nothing Personal) reported.
The arrests are based on documents that have been made available to the Kremlin oppositionist Mikhail Khodorkovsky's organization, the Dossier Centre, which has also given them to TV3. These materials show that the Baltic Anti-Fascists are not just a group of Russian fans, but are trying to infiltrate drone factories in Latvia, collect information on the movement of military equipment, and gather information on who is donating to Ukraine or wearing Ukrainian symbols.
For example, Igors Andrejevs, a security guard at a shop, has long reported to Russian special services about visitors with Ukrainian symbols and car license plates, passing on personal data he obtained at his workplace to Russia.
Neka Personiga crew met the man at his workplace in Ziepniekkalns, Riga. After the crew showed interest in the man, Andrejevs attacked journalists, broke a video camera and fled, but was soon detained by the police and remanded in custody.
The association of persons calling themselves Baltic Anti-Fascists started to develop and coordinate actions against Latvia's national security using specially created communication groups on the messaging platform Telegram, the State Security Service (VDD) previously informed LETA. Criminal proceedings against the group were initiated by the VDD in November 2022.
Currently, two members of the group - Tatiana Andrijeca and Aleksandrs Zguns - are on trial in Latvia. The others - Sergejs Vasiljevs, Viktorija Matule, Romans Samuls and Stanislavs Bukains - have fled to Russia or Belarus.
Prosecutor Zane Lodzina told Neka Personiga that the main goal of the criminal group was to gather as many persons disloyal to Latvia as possible so that, when the time was right, they could create disorder in the country, destabilize the situation, turn against Latvian democracy, officials or just ordinary citizens who are against Russia.
Vasiljevs gave interviews in the Russian media as the leader of the Baltic Anti-Fascists. In the case of the anti-fascists remaining in Latvia, he testified in court on August 20, 2025, at the request of the defense.
Asked by the prosecutor whether the aim of the organization was to unite like-minded individuals, Vasiljevs answered in the affirmative at the time and explained that 'the further goal will be the destruction of Nazism and its supporters in the Baltic states'.
'When our whole support system is revealed, you will be very surprised who is helping us in Latvia,' Vasiljevs boasted.
Vasiljevs sent the information obtained by the Baltic Anti-Fascist Channel to Sergei Kolesnikov, who is linked to the Russian special services. He is formally a former employee of the Russian Federal Security Service and the head of a private detective agency, but the material shows that he continues to cooperate with the special services.
Kolesnikov and Vasiljevs communicate with each other as a curator with his agent. Vasiljevs passes on messages he receives on the anti-fascist channel, Kolesnikov transfers money, helps with residence documents in Russia, the TV says.
Several of the messages forwarded from Latvia by Vasiljevs came from the security guard of the supermarket in question. He sent photos from the store's surveillance cameras of people wearing Ukrainian symbols and the registration numbers of the cars they came in [1/2]."
The arrests are based on documents that have been made available to the Kremlin oppositionist Mikhail Khodorkovsky's organization, the Dossier Centre, which has also given them to TV3. These materials show that the Baltic Anti-Fascists are not just a group of Russian fans, but are trying to infiltrate drone factories in Latvia, collect information on the movement of military equipment, and gather information on who is donating to Ukraine or wearing Ukrainian symbols.

He also collected information outside the workplace - about Ukrainian supporters from TV broadcasts, social media, shops displaying Ukrainian flags. One photograph shows the photographer himself in the reflection.
Kolesnikov and Vasiljevs point out that this is unprofessional. The security guard excuses himself, saying that it is not him, but a friend. He sends his photograph as proof.
Andrejevs has several convictions for drug possession, causing bodily harm, theft and hooliganism. According to TV3, he had already planned to move to Russia and had bought a bus ticket dated January 13. Before his arrest, he had been looking for a car to take him to Narva in Estonia through acquaintances.
Vasiljevs' wife, Iveta Balode, was also detained by the VDD. According to Kolesnikov's files, she also reported the movement of military equipment and regularly travelled from Latvia to Russia.
On Friday, the court also decided to arrest Jevgenijs Oks, who works in the financial sector and is a close friend of Vasiljevs. His name also appears in the leaked documents. Oks regularly travelled to Russia and met Vasiljevs, who in turn introduced him to his mentor Kolesnikov.
Vasiljevs' correspondence also reveals that his people have tried to infiltrate drone factories in Latvia - trying to become employees, posing as suppliers and foreign partners. On social networking platforms, they search for people working in drone factories and collect information about them.
Prosecutor Lodzina has no doubt that the activities of the Baltic Anti-Fascists were coordinated in advance with the relevant Russian services.
The VDD officially informs that it has opened criminal proceedings for espionage and has detained several people this month.
The punishment for leading and participating in the crimes committed by such a criminal organization is life imprisonment or imprisonment for a term of ten to 20 years.
The Riga Regional Court upheld the first instance court's verdict that sentenced Sergejs Sidorovs, a taxi driver accused of spying for Russia, to seven years in prison. He also reported to the Baltic Anti-Fascists. The verdict has not yet entered into force and can be appealed to the Supreme Court [2/2]"
