AGP Executive Report

Last update: 43 minutes ago

Russia-Ukraine: Russia’s State Duma has authorised Vladimir Putin to use the military to “protect” Russians abroad, a move that could escalate tensions around detentions and trials outside Russia. EU sanctions: The EU and UK also rolled out fresh sanctions targeting officials and institutions accused of deporting and indoctrinating Ukrainian children. Latvia politics: In Riga, a City Council Property Committee meeting turned physical, with an ethics review promised and calls to restrict personal filming. Infrastructure: Rail Baltica bridge support in the Daugava and a Mārupe overpass were implemented only partially, blamed on shifting Cabinet priorities. Local life: Latvia’s ice cream season kicks off with nine new products and about EUR 400,000 in investment. Tech & work: Latvia’s AI use is rising fast, but many firms still doubt it’s delivering real business value. Culture & travel: Cannes is enforcing stricter red-carpet rules, while Oceania Cruises opens bookings for its “Ultimate Explorer” world cruises.
