No Russian and no Russians: Ukraine invasion has supercharged Latvian nationalism - NPRIGA, Latvia — I meet Nils Muiznieks, a former Latvian cabinet minister and Amnesty international’s European director, in a warm and cozy café at the edge of Riga’s Old Town. It’s packed with students chatting joyfully in a mixture of English, French and Latvian. I pay in Euros, a gesture that reminds me that we are very much in the comfort zone of the Europe Union. But not for me who set foot in Latvia for the first time since the Soviet collapse. Their government is providing all it can in terms of arms and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
