Latvia’s Prime Minister Evika Silina has announced her resignation on Thursday, triggering the collapse of her coalition government just months before the country’s October general elections. ⁣ ⁣ In a televised statement, Silina, of the centre-right New Unity party, said "I am resigning, but I am not ⁠giving up.” Her shock resignation comes days after the Latvia’s Defence Minister Andris Spruds, member of the government’s left-leaning coalition Progressives party, was fired over ⁠the handling of stray ‌Ukrainian ​drones flying into ‌Latvia from Russia. ⁣ ⁣ The Progressives have since pulled their support from Silina, leaving her without a majority. ⁣ ⁣ #Latvia #Russia #Ukraine #Drones
