Vladimir Lindermantrying to protect the rights of the Russian-speaking population:
The 2 Cavalry Regiment of the US Army today visited the capital of Latgale, the city of Daugavpils. Two hundred units of military equipment. The American ambassador to Latvia Nancy B. Petit, the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Latvia Bergmanis and others were present. The townsfolk, of course, enthusiastically photographed in an embrace with the occupiers. But there were also worthy people who placed on the side of the road on which the equipment was moving, a call for American warriors to go home. Police are looking for rioters.
