Along the Latvian border with Russia and Belarus, the military will create a chain of strongholds: defensive fortifications, obstacles and ammunition depots.
It is noted that the country plans to spend 303 million euros on this over five years.
According to the engineering inspector of the National Armed Forces (NAF) of Latvia, Lieutenant Colonel Kaspars Lazdiņš, the first defensive line will be erected at a distance of about a kilometer from the border with Russia, near the border point of Terehovo in the Lauda region. Anti-tank ditches are being dug there.
Are there any better known sources? Charter97 doesn’t appear too trustworthy to me or am I wrong?
The report cites Latvia’s public broadcaster LSM, but you’ll find a lot of other sources (although at least some of them refer to LSM, too, or other media sources).
Charter97 is a Belarusian rights organization calling for democratic reforms in the country.
No fucking way in hell I’m fighting in WW3
