Latvia's Fence

From the MT:
"Latvia Builds Barbed Wire Fence on Russian Border to Combat Migration"

Latvia has completed construction of a 93-kilometer barbed wire fence on the border with Russia to combat illegal migration, media outlets reported, citing the Latvian border service. The 2.7-meter-tall fence, announced in 2015, alternates between sensor-based systems and surveillance camera zones. It is part of a 21 million euro ($23.8 million) project to modernize 283 kilometers of Latvia’s border with Russia. The first 93 kilometers of the new border have now been completed, the state-run TASS news agency quoted the Latvian border service as saying on Monday. Construction work along the Russian border is expected to wrap up in 2020. 

^ It's a sad fact that the peace-loving countries that border Russia have to take these kinds of steps to protect themselves (especially after Russia's invasion, occupation and annexation of Crimea.) ^
