“It also became known that at the time of the attack the British soldier was drunk and behaved aggressively,” the publication emphasizes. – Local media report that a special forces soldier approached Akselsa and demanded to leave within 10 seconds. Then he counted to ten and hit a local resident in the face. After the incident, a loud scandal erupted in Latvia. Local residents were very angry at the NATO soldiers, who boorishly violate the laws of Latvia and do not bear criminal responsibility for their actions. It is worth noting that the British soldier fled Latvia immediately after the fight.”
