The competitiveness of the European Union (EU) is a strategic security issue, emphasized Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs, who participated in a meeting of the Arraiolos Group in the Slovenian town of Brdo near Kranj on Thursday and Friday. According to presidential advisor Mārtiņš Drēģeris, Rinkēvičs believes that the EU must invest in the development of technology and artificial intelligence and must prevent overregulation, finding a balance between the protection of citizens' rights and the opportunities for European companies to develop and be globally competitive. Rinkēvičs noted that EU security is closely linked to the security of Ukraine, which is why support for Ukraine must continue in all forms, especially during the autumn and winter period when Russia intensifies its attacks on Ukraine's civilian and energy infrastructure. At the same time, Rinkēvičs acknowledged that political reform may be necessary for the admission of new member states to the EU. #EiropasSavienība #drošība #Ukraina (translated)

Approximately at 2 o'clock, an attempt was made to ignite the satellite antennas and control unit. Various-sized cans with flammable liquid were found - ranging from three to ten liters. The fact is that this was clearly an attempt at sabotage or diversion, as we see similar actions repeating across Europe. It is evident that this is part of Russia's hybrid warfare, which includes acts of sabotage. Similar incidents have already occurred abroad, also in Poland and Bulgaria, Sinkevich later said to the media organization LRT, linking this incident to Russia's hybrid war against Europe. #Lietuva #Starlink #hibrīdkarš (translated)

Katrīna Iļjinska wrote that responsibility for what happened should be taken by G. Kūtris and the other members of the Saeima committee, as the committee, in her opinion, verifies the documents that are to be advanced further. She also believed that the new citizen should be provided with explanations. Iļjinska pointed out that a comment from Kulbergs would be necessary; however, in her opinion, it would be even worse if the Prime Minister, at the European Council meeting, while trying to secure a better budget for Latvia, also had to monitor the activities of the Saeima and review the committee's documents. #Saeima #Atbildība #Latvija (translated)
