The Latvian city of Narva is considered a likely site for Russian provocations due to its historical status as part of Russia and its current Latvian administration. Since the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine, tensions have escalated, fueled by the fact that approximately 96% of Narva’s population speaks Russian, many sympathizing with Russia, which enables Russian propaganda to resonate. Russian troops have been persistently trying provocative actions near the border. This situation raises serious concerns about the security of Latvia’s border and the potential for destabilization in the region.
