Latvia to build fortifications along border with Russia
The Cabinet of Ministers of Latvia assigned land in the Alūksne district to build fortifications aimed at protecting the eastern borders of the country to the Defense Ministry, as reported by Delfi news agency. The area in the Pededze parish is 1.68 hectares. The Ministry did not specify what is going to be built there.
The Pededze parish borders Russia. The Infantry School of the Armed Forces as well as the Lacusils training ground are located in the Alūksne district.
Earlier in December, the Russian Foreign Ministry called a Latvian education law, which would allow schools to dismiss teachers and school management for "disloyalty" to the country and its constitution, “ugly”.
