Russia’s imperial and colonial ambitions brutally violate the UN Charter, speaking on behalf of Latvia and Lithuania, Foreign Minister Baiba Braze (New Unity) said at an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday.
She underlined that Latvia and Lithuania stand in full solidarity with our neighbor and ally Estonia. On September 12, the UN Security Council strongly condemned the violation of Polish airspace caused by a massive incursion by Russian drones. Latvia and Lithuania expressed their full solidarity with Poland at this meeting.
