“We are sending our thoughts and proposals [of a response to the Latvian authorities] to Moscow,” the TASS diplomat is quoted as saying.
Vanin stressed that the proposals are quite serious, and their implementation will to some extent bring the authorities of Riga to their senses.
On August 24, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the destruction of the monument to the soldiers of the Soviet army - the liberators of Riga and Latvia from the Nazi invaders is unacceptable for a civilized country, which Latvia is trying to position itself.
Russia also sent a note of protest to Latvia.
On August 23, in the Latvian capital in Victory Park, work began on the dismantling of the monument to the liberators of Riga.
