The Russian Foreign Ministry expelled the Latvian ambassador without waiting for the completion of his diplomatic mission

The Russophobic statements of the Latvian authorities regarding Russia did not go unnoticed, Moscow expelled the Latvian ambassador, he was ordered to leave Russian territory within two weeks. This is stated in the official statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Today, January 27, Charge d'Affaires ad interim of Latvia Dacija Rutke was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who expressed a strong protest in connection with Riga's decision to lower the level of Russian-Latvian relations. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Latvia of total Russophobia and, without waiting for the deadlines indicated earlier, sent the ambassador of the republic home.



(...) as soon as a fundamental decision has been made, we do not consider it necessary to wait until the date indicated by Riga for the completion of the ambassadors' missions. Latvian Ambassador Riekstins ordered to leave the Russian Federation within two weeks

the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Moscow emphasized that the consequences for the current situation fall on the Russophobic authorities of the Baltic countries and their owners from the United States.

Earlier, the Latvian authorities ordered Russian Ambassador Mikhail Vanin to leave the country by February 24, and the Latvian ambassador also had to leave Moscow before that date. Latvia lowered the level of diplomatic relations with Russia in solidarity with Ukraine and Estonia and Lithuania. Russia is also expelling the Estonian ambassador, he must leave Russia by February 7th.

The decision of the Russian Foreign Ministry is absolutely correct, it is no longer possible to maintain diplomatic relations with the limitrophes at the same level, given the level of Russophobia in these countries.

      2 weeks is something and it hurts a lot on fees. It took a couple of days max.

        And do not say it would be necessary to give a good acceleration from the rear, but this is not diplomatic.

          The main thing is not these talkers, but to cut off the tails of our export through the Baltic states.
          Only through our ports and so on.

              Trucks and tanks are moving across land borders with might and main. At the border, they intertwine and their tractors are already being taken to their place. It’s just amazing how fast everything is being transported there now! Just endless!

        So let him sit, he is no longer an ambassador, but a Latvian tourist in Russia. What's the question ?

        in principle, it was necessary to send it a year ago in 24 hours. But no, they waited, they endured. wiped themselves even when they were already spitting in the face. It remains to wait until they urinate ... A country like Russia is not obliged to endure the antics of non-states.

        Well, if Mr. Lavrov considers Eritrea equal, then why can't Latvia think of itself that way?

          I’ll probably give you a thumbs up to talk about your irony about Eritrea and Latvia.
          Aaron, the equal sign is inappropriate here. Russia seriously enters Africa and thereby greatly upsets Macron (and mattresses too), whose troops the Africans drive with pissed rags. At the same time, France lost almost all of its African colonies in the bowels of which no small resources are concentrated. Proceeding from impotent anger from the impossibility to change the situation, Macrosh goes to aggravate with Russia in matters of Ukraine. What is Latvia against this background? Dandruff on "one of the testicles" of the Can! Its value, like Lithuania and Estonia, is negligible, just an unfortunate geographical neighbor.
          At this level, you perceive Palestine in much the same way, from which there is a lot of noise and problems, but there is no threat to the statehood of Israel.

      Isn't it time to break off diplomatic relations with some limitrophes altogether? Well, let’s say it’s impossible with the United States - after all, a huge country and some kind of contexts need to be supported, but with the Balts it would have been worth doing this for a long time. Better with small britain.

      The process has begun. Diplomats leave. Guys who don't know how to shoot - learn, who forgot - remember. Children, if possible, to the rear. Recall the skills of providing medical care. Everyone at his workplace .... We keep the system. Shields closed. This is no longer SVO.

      It's time to stop all trading. Teach, teach, teach, by all means available. And don't think about those Russians who didn't want to live in Russia. That year I talked with a couple of them, so Europeanness poured out of them in an endless stream, and my tongue itched to call me a bast shoe, which was clear even without words. They made their choice once, now let them live with it.

      Recall Russian ambassadors from marginal countries and expel their ambassadors for a period of no more than 24 hours for the supply of weapons by their countries. It will be a good sign about crossing red lines. And you can do the same as they do with Our athletes. Let them remove the flags of belonging to the state from the consulates, and hang out a white flag, a neutral flag!!!

      According to Eurostat, the export of electricity from Russia to the EU countries, namely to Finland, Lithuania and Latvia, in January-June 2022 in monetary terms amounted to 561,8 million euros, which is 239% higher than the figure for the same period when Russia supplied electricity in the amount of 234,7 million euros.
      Data for July-December is still in progress. And there is another list of exported goods.
