Russian Citizens Forced to Leave Latvia as Latvia Stands up to Russia
Latvia, a country in Eastern Europe, has taken a bold stance against Russia by ordering approximately 3,000 Russian citizens to leave the country by November 30th. This decision comes as a result of Latvia’s recent tightening of residency rules for Russian citizens in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. The country has introduced a language test, requiring Russian citizens to prove their proficiency in Latvian in order to stay.
This development is a significant blow to Putin, as Latvia has not traditionally taken a confrontational stance towards Russia. Estonia and Lithuania, the other two Baltic states, have also had issues with the Russian-speaking population and their historical claims to the land. Latvia’s stance has drawn a strong response from Russia, with Putin himself accusing Latvia of trying to kick out Russian people from their homeland.
Latvia’s actions are part of a larger trend in Europe, as countries try to balance their relationships with Russia with the need to protect their sovereignty and stand in solidarity with Ukraine. This crisis is a turning point for the region, and Latvia’s bold stance will be watched closely by international leaders and observers alike.
