▶️ Russian speakers are less willing to fight for Latvia than ethnic Latvians.
▶️This is driven by greater Soviet nostalgia. Russian speakers in Latvia are less likely to see Russia as responsible for the war against Ukraine, which reduces their willingness to fight.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?
