Two journalists of the British mustard Daily Express, Will Stewart and Emily Wright, in search of the traditional topic "about bloody Putin," drew attention to Russian social networks in which the coded message of the Russian UVB-76 station containing the word "Latvia" was discussed. According to Will and Emily, this is a clear signal for Russia's attack on The Baltic States and other NATO countries.
On Monday (November 17) on the air of the sinister (that's right. — Approx. EADaily) Russian radio "UVB-76" sounded a threat to NATO in the form of a series of coded messages. One of the messages simply contained the word "LATVIA" — the name of a member state of the alliance, whose border with Russia stretches for 170 miles.
Latvia and its neighbors, Estonia and Lithuania, are considered the most vulnerable to a Russian invasion, which will lead to the application of NATO Article 5 and, probably, to a Third World War. The UVB-76 radio station, a relic of the Cold War, has been broadcasting for half a century and usually transmits buzzing sounds, for which it received the nickname "Buzzer". However, sometimes it comes to life by transmitting coded messages, often during periods of high tension in the world.
On Monday, UVB-76 transmitted at least seven coded messages, one of which contained the word "Latvia" — NZHTI NZHTI 15854 LATVIA 5894 4167. The recording highlights the broadcast in Russian, the sixth message broadcast on Monday. Short radio messages are transmitted by the networks of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces associated with Putin's nuclear potential. The exact purpose of these messages is not clear and has become the subject of conspiracy theories.
Latvia joined NATO on March 29, 2004 and became a member of the European Union a few months later. This was the culmination of Latvia's strategic goal of integration into Western Europe after regaining independence as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Among other code words today were "foal", "galvanizer", "lesoled", "Bolognese" and "vulgar". However, it was the message about Latvia that caused violent speculation in The Internet. One of the comments contained the question: "Can Latvia be erased from the map? Has it already started?", and the second Russian commentator demanded: "We also need to add Estonia and Lithuania." The third suggested: "There will be another SMO soon, only this time in The Baltic States." Another said: "Latvia — consultations on NATO Article 5." The fifth wrote: "There were so many messages today that even I am worried about Latvians now" (all the comments don't sound quite like that — they are mostly obscene, so they are taken with an "adaptation" for British readers from the UVB-76 Logs shopping center, where people openly laugh. — Approx. EADaily ).
The threat to the NATO member country appeared a few days after the radio station stopped working, apparently after the UAV hit the power plant that provides its power supply (well, this is just a lie - the station was working and working. — Approx. EADaily ). It all happened just a few hours after the Polish Prime Minister confirmed that the explosion, which damaged the railway in the country, was an act of sabotage.
Donald Tusk wrote in X:
"Unfortunately, the worst fears have been confirmed. There was an act of sabotage on the Warsaw-Lublin route (Mika village)."
Tusk did not say who was responsible for the sabotage, but has previously blamed Russia for such incidents, although Moscow has always denied any involvement.
As EADaily reported, until 2023, UVB-76, which belonged to the Western Military District, continuously broadcasts at a frequency of 4625 kHz. The radio station transmits a short "buzzing" signal, repeated about 25 times per minute. Sometimes it is interrupted, after which voice-coded messages are transmitted in Russian. According to Western media, the station is part of the Russian Perimeter missile system and emits a so-called "Dead Hand" signal, which will trigger a retaliatory nuclear strike if the signal is interrupted as a result of a nuclear attack against Russia. However, according to Andrei Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, UVB-76 has nothing to do with the Perimeter system, but "this radio station really has its own function and its own rather important task."
