“Latvia, which does not have the ability to pursue an adequate foreign policy, has made it a priority to hate our country.

The more absurd and louder the statements of its politicians sound, the more powerful pawns they feel on a geopolitical scale, ”the parliamentarian believes.

The MP is sure that Latvia does not act independently in this matter.

“Deprived of independence, Latvia has long been following the anti-Russian course set by the United States and its allies, and in the desire to please Western patrons, it is practicing Russophobia, hoping for imaginary benefits and handouts,” Belik said.

The interlocutor of RT noted that Latvia should focus on solving its internal problems and stabilizing its "tipped" economy.

“And not to dream of “defeating” the country with which it is “fighting” with the demolition of monuments and stupid resolutions,” the deputy concluded.

Earlier, the Latvian Foreign Ministry called the "defeat of Russia" one of the priorities of its foreign policy.
