Latvia, together with the UK and other EU countries, is now discussing what the response steps can be to Russia poisoning the double agent Sergey Skripal in the UK
- noted Yegermanis, adding that the Latvian Foreign Ministry will provide detailed information on Monday, March 26.
As the head of the department, Edgar Rinkevich, said earlier, such a decision can be taken as a sign of solidarity with other EU countries. At the same time, he assured that Latvia will not recall Ambassador Maris Riekstins from Russia.
