Iron Curtain 2.0: Latvia prepares to dismantle rails to Russia.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The final decision on infrastructure on the eastern border will be agreed upon with Lithuania and Estonia following an assessment by the Ministry of Defense; clarity will only emerge in early 2026.

The Latvian government confirmed that it is exploring the possibility of completely dismantling sections of railway tracks leading to Russia, according to the online publication LSM. This measure was announced following a working meeting between President Edgars Rinkēvičs and Prime Minister Evika Sillini.

By the end of 2025, the government will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the possible dismantling of railway infrastructure on the eastern border. The Ministry of Defense will be involved in this work, with the authorities placing particular importance on coordinating actions with Lithuania and Estonia. This issue will be a topic of discussion among the presidents and prime ministers of the Baltic states. President Edgars Rinkēvičs stated that a clearer picture of the future of the border railways will only become clear in early 2026.

Rinkēvičs emphasized that the tense situation on the country's eastern border will likely persist for a long time, and dismantling the tracks is one possible measure. He noted that the government cannot rule out any option for strengthening national defense and security, but such decisions must be made with a clear definition of timeframes, the scope of work, and an assessment of their impact on various socioeconomic aspects. The president noted that discussions on social media about dismantling the tracks have so far been filled with "more emotion than rationality."

The head of state also addressed the problem of a lack of information. He stated that the lack of detail and clarity is causing unnecessary anxiety in society. He noted that while Riga is saying something, people in Latgale (one of Latvia's historical and cultural regions, located in the east of the country northeast of the Daugava River and southeast of the Aiviekste and Pededze Rivers) are unaware, which is fueling anxiety and misinformation. Rinkēvičs added that he plans to hear the position of the armed forces on this issue on Friday, November 28, 2025, but that in-depth discussions and any decisions are not expected until 2026.

As a reminder, Latvia has introduced mandatory paid pre-registration for all vehicles crossing its external borders as of October 1, 2025. LR

Refutation of the news about wage arrears.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Nordstar Airlines –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

11/25/2025 on the resourcehttps://vvv.kommersant.ru/daughter/8230045Information was published that NordStar Airlines, at the request of the prosecutor's office, paid its employees over 1.9 million rubles in unpaid wages.

Unfortunately, the rumor was picked up by several regional and Russian online news outlets, which also spread information that a case had been opened against the airline's director for wage arrears.

This information is unverified and inaccurate. NordStar Airlines strictly complies with all Russian labor law requirements regarding the procedure and timing of salary payments. The aforementioned payment of 1.99 million rubles was made to cover overtime work under a summarized accounting system. According to current Russian legislation, this payment is subject to transfer at the end of the relevant summarized accounting period (in this case, the summarized accounting period was from January 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025).

Thus, the payment of 1.99 million rubles was made on time and in strict compliance with the law. NordStar Airlines has no outstanding wage arrears to its employees. Furthermore, there are no pending cases against NordStar Airlines' CEO for wage arrears or any other violations of Russian labor law.

We urge media representatives to be responsible about the information they post on their resources and to verify information with official sources before publishing, and not to disseminate unverified or inaccurate information.

Please rely solely on the official statement of the Airline and the Prosecutor's Office regarding this matter.
