One country with a keen interest in what’s happening in Ukraine is Latvia, which also borders Russia.
We caught up with the country’s president Edgars Rinkēvičs earlier and asked him about Mr Zelenskyy’s assertion that he would force the Russians to accept his peace plan.The fact that Ukraine is already fighting for almost three years, it shows that all those assumptions that Ukraine is going to lose, that Ukraine is not capable to fight, they are gone.
Absolutely. Look what is happening with Finland or with Latvia, Poland or Lithuania. Russia is now using migration as the hybrid weapon against Finland. Belarus, the proxy of Russia, does the same with us. So from that point of view, where I see immediate danger is this kind of hybrid warfare, which is already ongoing. Here, we should be better prepared.
I don’t believe that at this point, if we show the weakness, if we talk political stuff and we don’t show the strengths, that it will be very helpful. But yes, I do believe that it is possible for Nato not to engage in war if Nato shows strength.
