Latvian President Rinkevics publicly stated that Russian drones are being used in Ukraine to target civilians, describing human lives as treated like targets in a safari. He emphasized these actions constitute grave violations of international law requiring accountability. He further elaborated that the ongoing conflict tests international norms by forcefully redrawing borders, seizing territory, and abducting children. Rinkevics characterized Russia's hybrid threats, including explosive drones at airports, airspace violations, attacks on power stations, and cyberattacks, as equally dangerous as conventional war, noting Latvia experiences these threats daily. He also remarked on Russia's shadow fleet exploiting legal grey zones, threatening Latvia's security and environment, and accused Russia of spreading blatant lies and threats at the Security Council.
