“Such a decision causes only indignation… In this case, these are sanctions against all citizens of Russia.
That is, it is clearly xenophobic in nature.
They all there "speak in the same tune."
First the Minister of Foreign Affairs, then other officials, now the President has decided to speak out... It is worth noting that such decisions are justified only by hatred of Russia and those who live in Russia,” Tsekov believes.
In his opinion, Russia will find leverage on Latvia.
“They will be political and economic in nature.
We have opportunities for this... I think that Latvia will receive a very tough response.
What exactly is up to our management to decide.
But this must be answered very harshly, put Latvia in its place and make it clear that all these decisions will backfire on it, ”the senator added.
Earlier it became known that the President of Latvia supported the idea of banning the issuance of EU visas for Russian citizens.
He reminded that Latvia stopped issuing tourist visas from 24 February.
The Latvian parliament also declared Russia a "terrorism-supporting state."
