In November and December 2021, during the [[2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis]], Russian military officers made a Vienna Document 2011 visit to Latvia to inspect Latvian military forces.<ref name="LVMOD_RU_declines_OSCE_inspection" /> In January 2022, a pre-planned 24–29 January arms inspection by Latvian military officers to the [[Bryansk]] and [[Smolensk]] regions of Russia, again under the Vienna Document 2011, was refused by Russian authorities, who stated the reason as [[COVID-19 pandemic]] restrictions. The Latvian Ministry of Defence commented that the pandemic had not prevented the holding of the exercise.<ref name="Euractiv_LV_accuses_RU_pretext" /> The Defence Minister, [[Artis Pabriks]], described the Russian reason for refusal as "a poor excuse" that "raise[d] suspicions that Russia want[ed] to hide something by not disclosing the actual scope and intent of its military movements as required by [the] OSCE cooperation framework".<ref name="LVMOD_RU_declines_OSCE_inspection" />
On 10 February 2022, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania invoked the Vienna Document 2011, requesting information on "the total number of troops, battle tanks, armoured combat vehicles, artillery pieces, mortars and rocket launchers, envisaged sorties per aircraft, and rapid-reaction forces" of the ''Union Resolve 2022'' military exercise planned for Russian forces during 10–20 February
