"Keis" programme examines how hybrid war is waged and what it means for people in Latvia
A new episode of LSM's Russian-language programme "Keis" explains what hybrid war is, which methods it uses and whether such a war can end. The topic concerns Latvian residents, as politicians and security experts mention it more and more often.
The Russian-language service of Latvia's public broadcaster LSM has published a new video episode of its programme "Keis" ("Case"), devoted to hybrid war. The programme asks whether a war can be fought without a single shot being fired and what that means for an ordinary person.
According to the programme's description, residents of Latvia increasingly hear politicians and security experts say that the country lives in conditions of hybrid war. The makers of the episode set out to clarify what this claim means in everyday life.
Questions addressed
The programme looks at how hybrid war differs from traditional war. It also examines the methods used to wage it. The episode's title names sabotage, cyberattacks and disinformation.
Another question is whether such a war can ever end. The description does not give an answer; it is explored in the programme itself.
The episode is available on LSM's Russian-language portal as a video. The description does not name the guests or any specific incidents, so further detail can be found only by watching the recording.
