This morning the Latvian Armed Forces announced that NATO fighters on patrol successfully shot down a drone that had violated Latvian airspace following Russian electronic warfare activity. The previously announced air alert in five regions of the country was lifted at 4:50. “The threat in our airspace has ceased. Allied fighters have successfully shot down the unmanned aircraft,” the Armed Forces reported. The drone was shot down in the Balva region, in the northeast of the country. A spokesperson for the Joint Staff of the Latvian Armed Forces told Latvian radio that the location of the wreckage is known but will not yet be disclosed. The competent services are working on site. The unmanned aircraft was shot down at high altitude, so the debris may have scattered over a considerable area.
The official statements did not mention who launched the drone, but last night Ukrainian drones again attacked the Russian port of Ust-Luga, near Saint Petersburg, whose shortest route passes through the eastern borders of Latvia and Estonia.

US-Kiev peace proposals
Meanwhile, Washington and Kiev are reportedly coordinating a package of peace proposals to submit to Moscow, leveraging the “reality on the ground” after months of reciprocal attacks between Russia and Ukraine. Yesterday Reuters reported that Kiev transmitted through a third party – probably Turkish – a proposal for a moratorium on attacks on civilians in the Black Sea. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko replied that Moscow has not received any formal proposal, implying that the communication does not follow official channels. A response suggesting an ongoing evaluation.
According to what has emerged in recent weeks, the package prepared by Washington includes at least two distinct options, coordinated during the meeting between Zelensky and Trump at the White House on July 8. The first is an air truce. American officials believe that the economic pressure resulting from Ukrainian deep attacks on Russian territory could induce the Kremlin to consider a mutual halt of air attacks. Kiev seems to believe that the change in pace in Ukrainian attacks offers negotiating leverage, as Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has already rejected similar proposals and the escalation of Russian attacks indicates that the priority is to critically degrade Ukrainian infrastructure in view of winter.
