Latvian State Security Service (VDD) launched a criminal case following threats by pro-Kremlin group 'Global Citizens Against War 1984' to conduct terrorist acts against Latvian arms suppliers to Ukraine.
On 9 September 2026, the Latvian State Security Service (VDD) initiated criminal proceedings in response to an ultimatum by the pro-Kremlin group 'Global Citizens Against War 1984'. This group publicly demanded on 8 September that Latvia halt arms and ammunition supplies to Ukraine, threatening terrorist attacks on specific Latvian companies involved. On 10 September, authorities detained one suspect in Riga, conducted searches at his residence and vehicle, and seized data storage devices and other items now under analysis. The suspect remains in custody. Identical demands and threats were made against Poland and Portugal regarding companies supplying arms to Ukraine. The criminal case was initiated under the second paragraph of Section 79.6 of Latvia's Criminal Law.
Confidence: Medium
The incident involves a pro-Kremlin group issuing threats of terrorism against companies supplying arms to Ukraine, which reflects hostile hybrid threat activity targeting Latvian national security and defense support infrastructure.
