Latvian Foreign Minister announced the country's intention to refuse Russian gas supplies

“We plan to build gas supply stations and do without Russian gas,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying in an interview with Al Jazeera TV channel.

According to Rinkevich, the Latvian authorities are confident that NATO will support the Baltic countries in repelling "any threats."

Earlier, the Latvian authorities introduced an energy crisis in the supply of petroleum products in Latvia until the end of this year.
