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.

    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.

    This once again shows that no one will openly say what they think, but if this message appeared from a Latvian diplomat, then it is clear how they relate to Ukraine.

      Absolutely agree. Such behavior suggests that Ukraine is not put in anything. If some Baltic states, which itself is nothing of itself, are making fun of Ukraine, then what can we say about others?

      Aha! Sparrow! There is already a good boar flew towards the outskirts! Let them squeal now! Or are they still hopefully stubbornly hoping to join the EU? So if the EU does not come to you, go to the EU yourself, under the guise of refugees! Live there from the age of five, and if you like it, stay there. We have pacifists who fled from the evil Russia, they will probably soon run back with changing shoes on the run. There is already news that they do not like it there. Oh well! It's one thing to come there on vacation, it's another thing to live and work there. Oh, it’s not for nothing that the Bolsheviks, pushing around on migrations, expelled such figures from the country with deprivation of citizenship! Oh, not in vain! They already knew a lot about life abroad!

    Baltic diplomat, decided to play a trick on the inhabitants of the "brotherly" country,
    To be honest, he just decided to poke up Ukraine. Well, just because of how much they don’t need rubbish to Ukraine, under the guise of military assistance, they fused, and in anticipation (even those suckers) of fresh buns from the owner ....

    Why not throw them an April Fool's joke about the start of work on the underground Suwalki corridor?
    it will take only 100 days to dig an underground metro 300 km long with a productivity of 334 m / month (about a year !!!)
    And for this, we can promise the Baltics not to demand from them the debt that has dripped since the time of Peter I.

      A bit wrong, 334 months. But you don’t have to tell the labuses, let them be afraid.

      Well, it won’t work, we’ll take ours. Let the labuses be thrown into Canada, they are sick. Who is too lazy, even across the bay, like Lenin to Finland.

    This trolling should be continued by Maria Zakharova, thanking this character for the joke, which hides all the real attitude of Europeans towards Ukraine.

    It is quite natural to ridicule the fraternal peoples. In 1991, Yeltsin, the favorite of the Russian people, separated Ukraine. And he was elected and recognized twice!

    As the saying goes: "free will, and fools - Paradise!" As for "Paradise," the current President tactfully hinted to us once. Also a great favorite of the Russian people.

      And it’s stupid to minus, gentlemen, compatriots!

      We are being destroyed by historical oblivion. Peter and Catherine and Lenin annexed Ukraine. Because some relatives should be kept closer than friends. (old Chinese wisdom)

      And Yeltsin separated ..... Because the historical memory of compatriots does not work beyond 1917!

    I did not expect such sophisticated trolling from the Balts. Surprised though...
    And as for the Ukrainians, why are they offended? They were simply congratulated on their professional holiday, and they ... Well, no sense of humor ...

    And Ukrainian commentators once again made sure that on the first of April no one can be trusted.

    And Western "friends" can NEVER be trusted and AT ALL! For they will definitely throw.

    Latvians are Nazis, and to such an extent that even allies are mocked, Nazis of the 1st category over Nazis of the 2nd category. Well, the 404th is right, even now, when they are taken to the slaughterhouse, they sing hymns to their executioners.
