The drones come home to roost for the government of Latvia
In the early hours of 7 May, three Ukrainian drones entered Latvian airspace. Two of those fell onto Latvian territory near the Russian border, setting off a chain of events culminating in the collapse of the government. This is the price the Latvian ruling class is having to pay for turning the country into the most bellicose ally to Ukraine, thereby letting NATO put a huge target on their back.
On the night of Thursday to Friday, May 29, 2026, a Russian drone fell on the roof of a residential building in Galati, Romania, wounding two. In early May, Ukrainian drones disoriented by Russian interference crashed in Latvia, resulting in the fall of the government. A new Prime Minister was appointed this Thursday.
