Russia plays the card of protecting Russian speakers in the Baltics: a new wave of information aggression.

According to inkorr.com: Ukrainian experts pointed out that Russia has begun to use the theme of 'protecting the Russian-speaking population' in the Baltic countries. Recently, Russian propaganda drew attention to Latvia's decision to deport Russian citizens who failed to pass the Latvian language exam.

Speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin was outraged by the 'humiliation and persecution' of Russian-speaking citizens and called for their 'protection'. Leonid Slutsky has already promised to accept all deportees, calling them 'part of the 'Russian world'.'

Possible consequences of playing on national feelings

Experts believe that such comments are part of the information aggression from Russia and may lead to further provocations. It is important to understand that this is just one element of a long-term strategy by the Kremlin aimed at increasing its influence in the region and justifying possible aggressive actions.

The situation in the Baltics is becoming increasingly tense against the backdrop of such statements. The deportation of Russian citizens and the reaction from Moscow may provoke new conflicts and tensions in the region, which requires close attention from the international community. This underscores the importance of monitoring information campaigns that may affect interethnic relations in the Baltic countries and beyond.
