In the examined week, the main disinformation narratives discussed surrounded the cooperation between Latvia and China as well as potential war with Russia. Familiar to all content was to portray that media in Latvia does not provide impartial information and that the Western world and Globalists. In terms of platforms, most engagement is reached in TikTok. In comparison to prior months, content on Facebook is reaching less engagement.
