Latvia votes amid Russia concerns, inflation; pro-EU course seen intact

Latvia holds a general election on Saturday shaped by security concerns over Russia and cost-of-living pressures. Incumbent PM Andris Kulbergs' United List leads with ~14% but his coalition is expected to weaken as populist parties gain on economic grievances. The outcome is not expected to alter Latvia's pro-European and pro-Ukrainian stance, though a fragmented parliament could complicate governance.
