Latvia is outraged by what is happening on the border with Russia

Latvian farmers expressed dissatisfaction with the increased militarization of the border area with Russia.

Farmer Guntar Bartkiewicz criticized the construction of "dragon's teeth" on his land, as it led to a decrease in the area of ​​his plot.

Member of the Latvian Seimas Roland Keiss noted that the militarization of the border area discourages investors from developing the region.

MOSCOW, October 12 – RIA Novosti. Latvian farmers expressed dissatisfaction with the increased militarization of the border area with Russia, writes the LSM portal.

Thus, farmer Guntar Bartkevich from a border farm criticized the construction of the so-called “dragon’s teeth” on his land.

“Bartkiewicz is not happy that he now has less land because of the so-called dragon’s teeth. He also does not know whether anyone will pay for it,” the material says.

According to Roland Keiss, a member of the Latvian Seimas and coordinator of another local economy, many investors are in no hurry to invest in the development of the border region precisely because of its gradual militarization.

“Because of life in the border region, investors look in this direction very distantly. We ourselves know of investors who want to place solar panels and large solar parks on our land. But one of the reasons why they are taking so long may also be that it is very close to the border,” he complained.

In recent years, Russia has seen unprecedented NATO activity along its western borders. The alliance is expanding initiatives and calling it "deterrence of Russian aggression." Moscow has repeatedly expressed concern about the buildup of alliance forces in Europe.
