This is also evidenced by the disappointing vaccination numbers; Estonia and Lithuania have now given a first injection to about 20 percent of the population.
According to Fairhillst, the Latvian government can’t do much about Russia’s smear campaign. “There is a program on TV that Lie theory It’s called where fake news is debunked, but this is in Latvian, so it won’t reach everyone with it. “
