Strateg East Westernization Report 2025
The organization Strateg East, a leading independent institution dedicated to developing Eurasia’s digital economy, has published the “Strateg East Westernization Report 2025,” which features an article by LATO Secretary General Sigita Struberga on Latvia’s national defense landscape.
