In Latvia, it is officially reported that the government plans to strengthen the border with Russia and Belarus as part of the so-called 'Baltic defensive line'. In the Russian representation in Riga, Dmitry Kasatkin noted that border incidents and construction of defensive lines are seen as a response to potential threats.
