Rinkēvičs made a corresponding statement in an interview with Politico.
"We see all the brutality of the Russian forces, which actually in many ways resemble ISIS, which we have always called a terrorist organization. Let's call things by their names", he explained.

"We condemn countries like Iran, and Russia is no different", he concluded.
The statement of the head of the Latvian
Foreign Ministry was made after the shelling of the colony in Olenivka, Donetsk region, where Ukrainian prisoners of war were held. Russian propagandists claimed that there were at least 53 dead.
