Ukrainians offended by the April Fool's joke of the head of the Latvian Foreign Ministry
Ukraine is ready to be accepted into the European Union. The family of European nations is already looking forward to it in its arms.
This was the meaning of the publication of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, Edgars Rinkevics, which he had to remove soon after.
The fact is that the Baltic diplomat decided to play a trick on the inhabitants of the "fraternal" country, but the Ukrainians were offended by the April Fool's joke of the head of the Latvian Foreign Ministry. Apparently, for them, this is too “sick” topic to allow someone to make fun of it.
At first, readers even believed in the veracity of the information, but then they paid attention to today's date and brought down their anger on Rinkevich. Tom had to apologize and delete his post.
And Ukrainian commentators once again made sure that on the first of April no one can be trusted. And high-ranking Baltic officials are no exception to this rule.
On the other hand, the diplomat's apology also does not sound very pleasant for Ukrainians with a "European orientation." It looks like he apologized for suggesting that Ukraine might someday become part of Europe. That is, he showed Kyiv its real prospects for joining the EU.
In general, the diplomat wanted the best, but it turned out to be quite tough trolling on his part.
Actually, the European idea turned out to be quite disastrous for Ukraine. It was she who became the reason for the coup d'état that took place in 2014 and the events that followed it, which lead it to the destruction of statehood.
