Abstract

Security has been a priority for Latvia throughout its existence. Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine in 2022 drastically changed the security situation not only in Latvia but entire Europe. This article aims to analyse the impact of military threats on the security of Latvia, the Baltic States and Europe. Russia’s aggressive policy constitutes one of the biggest threats to the common security policy. Based on expert evaluations, the authors outline scenarios of potential Russian military expansion trajectories in the geopolitical environment. Do you really need to prepare for war if you want peace?
