Peskov: Latvia’s introduction of duties on grain from the Russian Federation will result in losses for Riga

The introduction of 300 percent duties on grain supplies from Russia and Belarus will result in losses for Latvia itself. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov, TASS reports.

Riga was probably “inspired” by overseas methods of dealing with customs duties, a Kremlin official indicated. He emphasized that the country would lose a lot due to such a decision, since these export items were also beneficial to the Latvians themselves.

At the same time, Peskov is convinced that Moscow will be able to find a replacement for the Latvian direction. The international market is vast, so Russia will be able to redirect flows, he made it clear.
