MOSCOW, January 17. /TASS/. Present-day events in the Baltic countries, including the ongoing deportation of Russians from Latvia, affect Russia’s security, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with heads of Russian municipalities.
"The events that are taking place in Latvia and other Baltic countries now, when the Russian people are being thrown out, are very serious and directly affect the security of our country," he said.
The Latvian authorities have sent repeated letters threatening to deport 985 Russians who failed to meet the requirement to obtain a residence permit in the country, the LTV TV channel reported with reference to the chief of the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs, Maira Roze.
Deportation of Russian nationals from Latvia Boris Katkov, an 82-year-old retiree, was deported from Latvia on January 13 for supposedly being a threat to national security, with no timetable for when he would be able to return. The day before, the country's authorities announced their decision. The Russian Embassy protested the incident, noting that Riga had violated the principle of not separating families: Katkov’s wife, children and grandchildren remained in Latvia.
In September 2022, the Saeima (unicameral parliament) of Latvia adopted amendments to the law on migration, which obliged Russian citizens who have permanent residence in the Baltic republic, to obtain a certificate of proficiency in the Latvian language at the A2 level by September 1, 2023. Otherwise, they would lose their residence status in the country.
On September 14, 2023, the Latvian Parliament approved the final reading of an amendment to the Immigration Law, extending the period to pass the state language exam by two years en route to obtaining the right to be a permanent resident in the Republic. Now Russian citizens living in Latvia will be able to obtain a temporary residence permit for two years, during which they will have to pass the state language exam. The application for a residence permit had to be submitted by December 31.
And, it is my business and the business of those that love the country to vehemently oppose wasting anymore tax dollars on the failed proxy war.
The only reason to spend another penny on the war is to help Biden avoid the humiliation of a Ukrainian surrender before the 2024 election.
“If you do things like to start wars, don’t be surprised if you get kicked out of the country you’re living in.”
Is this directed at NeoCons ?
Just maybe certain people here will recognize that Putin is a Hitler.
Why don’t you stop your fake phoney fraudulent name calling of every one who has the sense you lack, as “neocons”
Once again the article is about Russia but you have an immediate need to rush in and divert with an attack on Americans.
Putin is a mass murdering psychopath and he’s not even a “neocon”.
Hush, neocon.
Note that some of the Usual Neoconned Suspects have arrived on the thread and are busily denying that the NATO water that they’re carrying is wet...
Always.
“Once again the article is about Russia but you have an immediate need to rush in and divert with an attack on Americans.”
I was responding to a post calling applauding the deportation of the DPs, and which called for deportations from Gaza to Canada
What? Western countries are all behaving like nazis. Do you pay any attention at all to what is going on around the world.
Canada is glorifying nazis and has Chrystia Freeland a relative of nazis acting just like a nazi along side Castro’s sperm product.
It will be fun to watch the muscovites bitch about Russians getting the boot from Latvia, while at the same time calling for the illegals in the US to be tossed back to their homelands.
Russia starting to make noise about how poorly they are treated around the world makes me wonder what they do in all these places to get hated to the point where a country kicks them to the curb. Maybe it’s because they smell of cigarettes and stale vodka.
I thought Putin was now Stalin ?
So, is it Putler ?
Or Putlin ?
Or Hitlin ?
Or Staler ?
Are you masturbating!?
That’s the other guy’s tactic. Did you get taught that in Moscow-school?
“It will be fun to watch the muscovites bitch about Russians getting the boot from Latvia, ...”
I guess attacks on ethnic Russians in NATO countries will be the Globohomo Regime’s new tactic to try and widen the war.
Don’t be gay Kiry...
Enjoying the taste of your Biden's and your Mistress Maura's boot leather?
