The Latvian public has published a message from Sarmīte Cīrule, a combat medic of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, in which she wrote that four years had passed since the start of her service two days ago. She had initially planned to serve for one or two years and had hoped that the war would have ended by then with a defeat for the Russian forces. Cīrule also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for saying that a Russian general had made a mistake and that Ukraine should have quickly lost the war. Cīrule reported that during the four years, she had experienced a lot, made new friends, and tested the loyalty of former friends and acquaintances. She thanked the people who had come to Latvia for the treats and support, saying that the help alleviates her struggle. She urged to help Ukraine, to endure to the end and to win, emphasizing that love gives her the strength to continue and that loyalty is her most important quality. Cīrule added that the finish line has not yet been reached and that the victory of supporters will be part of the common victory. #Ukraina #Cīņa #Mīlestība (translated)

"My theory of victory is simple: we will block the initial attack. If the attack continues, we will stop it and thwart the enemy's advance.

UkReinis Pozņaks thanked the voters and wrote that the historical victory has also brought a historical responsibility, so joy has mixed with a little apprehension. He pointed out that in the opposition, successes and failures were up to them, but now they will affect the entire country and there will be no room for excuses.

Jāzeps Baško from MMN congratulated the "United List" and Andri Kulbergs on the election results and thanked MMN supporters who voted for the change in the electoral process. He acknowledged that the result was not as good as hoped: MMN ranked eighth with about 3.4% of the votes. In Riga, it was seventh, but in Vidzeme, Zemgale, and Kurzeme, it received a higher percentage of support than in the capital. Baško said that MMN would continue its work and form a right-wing, national-conservative, and ideologically-based party. In his opinion, Kulberg has now been entrusted with changing Latvia's political course, but MMN from outside the parliamentary opposition will offer him ideas. Baško also expressed that no good is expected in restricting immigration if the "United List" does not form a small coalition with NA, emphasizing that the new parliament will need MMN's criticism and ideological contribution. Baško believed that the "United List" results will further highlight the change in the electoral process proposed by MMN. He claimed that there will be at least a dozen deputies in the Saeima who had more negatives than positives in the elections and who are little known to the wider public. As an example, he mentioned a candidate who, a day before submitting the lists, withdrew from candidacy for MMN, joined the "United List" list, and was now elected to the Saeima, even though she had a high number on the list. Baško pointed out that the candidate had previously participated in the MMN political council a few times. #vēlēšanas #Latvija #politika (translated)

Aigars Prūsis wrote that Andris Kulbergs is the prime minister that Latvia has been waiting for a long time, but he attributed the victory mainly to the public's demand for change offered by the United. Prūsis pointed out that citizens supported the cessation of dishonest NGO funding from the state budget, a review of the essence of the SIF, the depoliticization of public media, and a revision of the RB concepts, paying more attention to roads. He also expressed that the support for Kulbergs was aimed at restoring trust in government, reducing bureaucracy and excessive regulation, as well as ensuring that unsuitable people would not again assume the role of prime minister and that Latvia would not be at the bottom of the EU. #Latvija #pārmaiņas #politika (translated)
