Kyiv Independent·LV · RU · UA·2 days ago
Latvian PM Andris Kulbergs' United List is projected to win 35.6% of the vote, the strongest result for any party since independence, according to an exit poll. The election was dominated by security threats from Russia, which may shape coalition talks. A confirmed win would strengthen Kulbergs' position in forming a government focused on defense and Baltic security.
