First time in history: Latvia leads the @UN Security Council this month 🇱🇻🇺🇳.
Nothing has changed. Russia murders Ukrainian children, women, bombs schools and hospitals.
Latvia is appalled by the CAS decision to legitimise Russia’s participation in the @IIHFHockey World Championship.
❌We reject Russia’s return. All hockey nations should do the same.

Russian officials continue lying. While it’s not a surprise, here is a reminder of facts that Nordic Baltic ministers have stated.
The Baltic states do NOT allow airspace to be used by Ukraine for drone attacks. Russia's illegal war on Ukraine is a sole reason for all accidents.

On 17 June 1940, the Soviet occupation of Latvia began with the Red Army invasion. Brutal repressions and the murder of innocent civilians followed.
Russia has not changed. It still seeks an empire. It attacks and undermines its neighbours. Russia must be stopped.
