Seeing the world 丨 Russia's neighbors entered an emergency, what happened?

Latvia, which borders Russia, suddenly had an emergency, making the world's nerves tighten this.

On September 27, local time, the Latvia government announced that several cities bordering Russia have entered an emergency. The duration of the emergency state is from September 28 to December 26. In addition, the Latvia government also decided to close Pedze crossing the border on the 27th. The government also decided to send the National Defense Forces and security personnel to assist border guards.

Latvia and Russia's "hard rigid" is not the first time.

As a member of the European Union, Latvia was tough on sanctions on Russia. Latvian Prime Minister Carse has called for many times to increase sanctions and use "isolated Russia economy."

The last time, in September, together with Poland, Ireland, Estonia and Lithuania, a new sanctions plan for Russia was submitted to the European Commission, including prohibiting cooperation with Russia in nuclear energy, prohibiting the sale of US dollars to Russia, stopping providing information technology to Russia with information technology Services and prohibit Russian citizens from buying real estate in the European Union.

However, there are still differences in the EU's internal attitude towards Russia.

Earlier, the Russian side issued a "ruble settlement order" on March 31, requiring "unfriendly" countries and regions to open an ruble account in Russian banks to pay for the purchase of natural gas, otherwise the gas supply will be suspended. Latvia said in April, and at the same time, it was announced that it would stop importing Russia's natural gas since January 2023. It has not yet arrived in 2023. In July this year, Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. issued an announcement saying that due to Latvia's violation of the relevant terms of natural gas supply, it stopped supplying gas to Latvia.

You know, about 90%of the natural gas purchased last year from Latvia came from Russia.

Latvia not only rejected natural gas economic exchanges with Russia. According to a report by Tas Society on August 5th local time, the Latvia Embassy in Russia suspended the acceptance of the Russian visa application indefinitely.

Why do you directly let the cities bordering Russia entered an emergency this time?

At present, the Chinese media have not been reported clearly, but it is worth mentioning that according to CCTV News on the 26th, on September 26, local time, Russian President Putin signed an order to suspend Russia and Latvia to avoid double taxation agreement starting from now on. Essence

However, some analysts believe that Latvia's emergency state may also be to limit Russians who have recently come. Russia announced a "partial mobilization order" last week, and some media reported that Russian people tried to leave.
