Ministers Baiba Braže 🇱🇻 & Dmytro Kuleba 🇺🇦 at the Wall of Remembrance in Kyiv honour those fallen in Russia's war of aggression.

This is the Latvian Minister's first bilateral visit abroad signifying that support to Ukraine is a high priority in Latvia's foreign policy.

Today when the world commemorates 38 years since the #Chornobyl Disaster, Russia continues to subject Ukraine & the whole Europe to the threats of a nuclear disaster in the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP. Latvia supports IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️'s presence & activities at Ukraine's NPPs.

After a recent surge of Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, the country's energy grid once again teetered on the edge.

The EU stepped in and delivered a powerful transformer donated by Latvia, which will bolster the damaged electricity supply to Ukrainians.

Latvia wishes a joyous, magnanimous #EidAlFitr to all, filled with love, peace, and prosperity. #EidMubarak !

Full 🇪🇺support for this resolution. The Commission of Inquiry collects a growing body of evidence of violations of intl law & war crimes in 🇺🇦. Russia should not be allowed to shield itself from scrutiny. Defending the UN Charter means speaking out when it is violated. #HRC55

#HRC55 just adopted the EU-led resolution on Belarus! There is an intensifying repression in Belarus against all segments of society; crimes against humanity may have been committed. A robust investigation needs to continue to ensure accountability & bring justice to victims.

In 1949 leaders of the free world created NATO as a defensive Alliance against the Soviet threat.

75 years on, NATO stands strong as a bulwark against any external threat and the guarantor of security and prosperity for its members.
