拉脱维亚总理西莉娜（Silina）于5月14日宣布辞职，起因是其政府处理乌克兰无人机越境事件的方式引发国内强烈争议。

此前，多架乌克兰无人机在俄乌冲突中偏离航线，进入拉脱维亚领空。西莉娜政府在事件初期的应对措施被批评为反应迟缓、信息不透明。反对党联合部分执政联盟成员对其施压，最终导致总理职位不保。

Latvian PM Silina Resigns Over Ukraine Drone Controversy

Latvian Prime Minister Silina announced her resignation on May 14, following intense domestic criticism over her government’s handling of Ukrainian drone incidents that crossed into Latvian airspace.

The controversy stems from multiple Ukrainian drones straying off course during the Russia-Ukraine conflict and entering Latvian territory. Silina’s government was criticized for a slow and opaque initial response. Opposition parties, joined by some coalition members, mounted pressure that ultimately cost her the premiership.

This political upheaval highlights the challenges Baltic states face as the Russia-Ukraine conflict produces spillover effects on neighboring NATO countries. The incident has reignited debate about air defense capabilities and crisis communication protocols.
