A Latvian oil depot attacked by Ukrainian drones has completely ceased operations.

Latvian company East-West Transit after the recent attack by Ukrainian drones is completely shutting down its oil depot in Rēzekne. The company's official statement cited employee safety concerns as the reason for the shutdown.

In addition, East-West Transit points out that the fall of Ukrainian drone The attack on the oil storage facility resulted in some losses, but the amount was not disclosed. The company also did not specify how many employees worked at the facility or what would happen to the infrastructure after the closure. According to Latvian sources, the tanks were empty at the time of the attack. However, a representative of the industry association admits that the facility could have lost its importance even without the Ukrainian drone attack due to a change in logistics routes.

It was previously reported that the entire Latvian government resigned following the Ukrainian drone attack. However, the Ukrainian drones acted as a catalyst for a situation already significantly exacerbated by protracted economic problems, interparty conflict, and high-profile scandals surrounding the defense bloc in the Baltic republic. Within the Latvian government, there was open discussion of a possible vote of no confidence, which was expected to take place soon. In the wake of the Ukrainian drone incident, the opposition began publicly accusing the government of failing to oversee security and respond to crises, after which the Latvian cabinet opted to resign immediately.

Cool, one small drone strike and such consequences for the country

I remember they were recently planning to equip ships for the Persian Gulf to help the faggots.

What did you expect from a small country with huge ambitions?)))

I don't understand about ambitions - where do ambitions come from: they're sitting on the pacifier, they have nothing left of their own - they only want to sell their faces at the behest of their elders, and that's not a very promising prospect.

And where did you see the country?!

[Bookinist69]

Well, it says on the map... Latvia. And yeah... Those clowns, too.

[Neo-9947]

Well, this is not a country, but a territory.

I still hope that the drones were, well, not entirely Ukrainian...
...or, say, unknown Somali hackers tweaked their flight program after takeoff...
This suggests that SVO-2 will cut the Baltics in half, right along the territory of the former Latvian SSR.

Just an opinion from the couch.

There is a joke on this topic:
The husband watches the figure skater's performance on TV:
- I would skate a free program with her!
Wife:
- First, you do the obligatory part!

Latvia... Country... I don't know that one. I know the Courland Governorate of the Russian Empire, or, for that matter, the Latvian SSR.
Country status denied!
You can see all sorts of things on maps these days, like on a shed there's one thing written on it, and there's firewood there...

Now they need to help themselves.

.......and such consequences for the country

There are no consequences there. The barrels were empty, and the government's resignation won't achieve anything special—"Shut your mouth, give up your position." Brussels will appoint others.

But it seems to me they simply found an excuse to quit: they have nothing to offer the public; they don't want to be whipping boys either; they have nothing to offer their country either - and then everything turned out so well...

Many of the Baltic high-ranking officials acquire property in warm climates. For example, Lithuania's Foreign Minister, G. Landsbergis, bought a "shack" in Italy, just in case. And many others do the same. It's the same in Russia, of course, and there's dual citizenship.

What are you saying, dear comrade? Baltic high ranks They're in Europe!!! - corruption is simply not possible there.
I'll say a seditious thought, but it seems to me nettle seed It's the same everywhere, only the scope is different

[Grossvater]

The population of this, so to speak, "country" is one and a half million Khary, a normal regional center. What the hell kind of "government" is this! A village council!

[Sergej1972]

In Russia, only four cities have a population of more than 1,5 million: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and Yekaterinburg.

- completely stopped working
I hope and finally.

well, like this bark don't carry sacks!

[andrey martov]

The anthill was so alarmed that even the anthill's government resigned. As if, if they resigned, drones wouldn't continue to plough the skies of Latvia...

This is the first time I've praised the Khikhlov since 2014! Keep it up!

[Atheist]

However, Ukrainian drones acted as a catalyst... for conflict between the parties...

The author puts it simply: there's some abstract conflict going on between the parties. It's happening because each party has hundreds of thousands of votes, and if voters' interests aren't taken into account, they could find themselves out of power in the next election. And it seems society has a very negative attitude toward drones, and the parties are forced to take this sentiment into account. If anyone from Latvia is involved, please let me know if this is true.

[pexotinec]

It's easier to dismiss the government than to have the outskirts protest. Brave Baltic sprats

[Old_geologist]

It's a pity that only the oil depot closed, and not the entire Latvian facility.

[Simargl]

Not the first line! I understand the desire to do it faster, but if we do it step by step, they'll write more in the history books.

... however...

... well and...

However, at the same time, Ukrainian drones acted as a catalyst for a situation that was already considerably aggravated due to protracted economic problems.

Has the government slipped away to avoid a full sit-down?
So it turns out they ordered the attack on purpose?!...
