Russia’s "traditional values" on Good Friday are war crimes — Latvian Foreign Minister

The minister shared this on social media platform X.

"Russia’s 'traditional values' demonstrated on Good Friday are: war crimes, aggression, armed attacks on civilians, including a pastry shop preparing food for the Easter in Ukraine."

Braže was responding to a post by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who reported Russian strikes on Kharkiv, Sumy, and several other Ukrainian regions. According to her, there are no signs that Russia is supporting U.S.-led peace efforts, which is why she called for action to force Moscow toward peace.
