Russia seeks to expand war, we must force it to peace - Zelenskyy
"It's expensive and inconvenient. But we in Europe pay with money, and Ukraine - with human lives": Latvian Prime Minister on Russia's gas blackmail
client/title.list_title
Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš says that Latvia and the EU must stand up to the Kremlin's blackmail, which has begun to use Europe's energy dependence on Russia's gas for political pressure
This was reported by Delfi.
Kariņš also noted that now the Russian Federation is openly blackmailing Europe, hoping to get sanctions relief for the war against Ukraine.
"We have to withstand this pressure. Now we, throughout Europe and in Latvia, pay a kind of military fee. Ukraine pays it with human lives, destroyed infrastructure and damage to the environment. We, Latvia and Europe, pay with money. It is expensive and 'painful', but it must be done until Ukraine wins this war, and Russia loses," Krišjānis Kariņš emphasized.
In addition, he added that the Latvian government is preparing steps to help the population get through the heating season.
