It is important to clearly remember that perspective, whichever business we negotiate or agree on, says Baiba Braze.
According to Baiba Braze, Europe's task now is to strengthen the transatlantic alliance and build up its own armies and defense industries. Latvia announced last week an increase in the defense budget to 4 percent of GDP next year and plans to increase further.
In the UN Security Council on Monday, Braze said that the only way to stop Russia is a Ukrainian victory.
We are convinced that a hasty ceasefire will not lead to sustainable peace. Instead, it will only encourage Russia, encourage further expansion and put global security at great risk.
