AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Латвия является членом Европейского союза и НАТО, поддерживая тесные политические и экономические связи с Западом. Отношения с Россией остаются напряженными из-за исторических и геополитических разногласий.

Латвии следует наладить отношения с Россией и стремиться к независимости. С таким призывом выступил бывший министр иностранных дел республики Янис Юрканс в разговоре с «Известиями».

Он считает, что Рига находится в слишком сильной зависимости от Европейского союза (ЕС) и США, в том числе в вопросах бюджета, обороны и внешней политики.

«Но если государство не может само составить свой бюджет, должно согласовывать с Брюсселем — ну где независимость?» — отметил Юрканс.

По его словам, решение Латвии следовать общему курсу ЕС привело к тому, что страна встала «спиной к России». Однако, как подчеркивает экс-министр, Рига нужно жить в мире с Москвой, поскольку они соседи.
