@Braze_Baiba @Arlietas @AndrisKulbergs The EU demonstrated its weakness. If the lifting of such sanctions is driven by officials of democratic countries, then it must be concluded that the public there has no understanding of what is currently happening in Ukraine, what Russia is, and who these oligarchs are.

❗️On the extension of EU sanctions and Latvia's position: 🔹EU sanctions must be strengthened, 🔹national sanctions have been adopted, 🔹reproaches must be addressed to those countries that wanted to remove 2 Russian oligarchs from sanctions, not to Latvia, which was the last of all EU countries to prevent that. https://t.co/nxliy4ZmvM

The removal of two Russian oligarchs from the European Union (EU) sanctions list for political reasons and without legal basis is dangerous, and Latvia opposed it, Foreign Minister Baiba Braže (JV) stressed to LETA.

A colleague's question about what the consequences of occupation are was not addressed to us. However, occupation and its consequences are legal concepts, and the journal's archive contains explanations, for example, in the thematic issue 'Consequences of Occupation and Their Compensation' (see: https://t.co/NqtMt3Cg7z) https://t.co/IMlZ656dFK https://t.co/wjCp3uuanW

Russia has been testing us to see how far our relationships and our trust in each other really go. That's why I was proud to sit down with Latvia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, @Braze_Baiba, to reaffirm our shared commitment to countering authoritarian expansion.

@DMurgs Insane enough to be a so-called 'New Latvian' candidate in the European Parliament elections. And, of course, to speak to the target audience, namely, this farce's electorate, in a language they understand.

@MaratQasem Thanks Marat for the info, yes, strange, very strange are those vates. Even local US media wrote about her, as I recall. Completely insane.

At the UN General Assembly #UNGA81 high-level event on global food security and the Black Sea, Foreign Minister @Braze_Baiba: 💬 Russia is waging war against global food security.

Latvia calls for an immediate halt to all attacks on international civilian vessels and Ukraine's 🇺🇦 port infrastructure in the Black Sea, and supports an immediate moratorium and safe navigation for commercial vessels. 📸 Photo: Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Sweden has started placing migrants convicted of criminal offenses in Estonian prisons. But the imported criminals complain that the Estonians do not give them knives in prison, only a bowl and a spoon. How can one not recall how Unity's @IneseAndersone and the like worried that Dombrava had taken knives from the invasive 'Mucenieki'.
