Kremlin election interference in Latvia: influence ops, espionage, 'Russian World' promotion

Ahead of Latvia's October 3 Saeima elections, the Kremlin is reportedly coordinating influence operations, including disinformation and espionage under embassy cover, to sway voters and promote 'Russian World' narratives. The report claims the Russian Presidential Administration is closely monitoring the campaign, with pro-Kremlin propagandists spreading fakes. This indicates an active foreign interference effort targeting a NATO/EU member state's electoral process.
