- Latvian PM Kulbergs won the parliamentary election and is on track to lead a pro-Ukraine governing coalition, per Reuters.
- Pro-Ukraine coalition parties collectively took 35% of the vote (AP News), while exit polls showed the ruling party leading and a populist party simultaneously gaining momentum.
Why it matters: A 35% combined share isn't a governing majority, so Kulbergs must now broker a working coalition — and how that coalition absorbs the populist surge will determine whether Latvia's Ukraine policy stays on its current track or bends under new domestic pressure from a rising anti-establishment force.
