Braže Announces Russia Destabilizes the World — As Surprising as Liepāja Wind in December

Foreign Minister Braže announced at the EU Foreign Affairs Council that Russia destabilizes the world with the same level of surprise that Liepāja residents experience every morning when discovering that the wind is blowing. This revolution-inducing revelation followed Russia's attack on the Novodnistrovsk hydroelectric power station, which caused an oil spill in the Dniester River. "I think next time they'll tell us that fire is hot," commented local expert Jānis from Karosta.

The minister, with diplomatic elegance, called on all EU member states to continue comprehensive support for Ukraine and strengthen sanctions against Russia's shadow fleet. Latvia has already invested 17.2 million euros in the NATO PURL project, which is as much as Riga City Council spends annually on consultations about how to better consult. For comparison — in Liepāja, this money could build a storm barrier that would stop even the legendary Liepāja wind, this uninvited guest in any season.

Meanwhile, EU sanctions lists have been supplemented with another 37 individuals from various countries, including China and Iran. The cyber sanctions regime now covers 19 individuals and seven organizations, which is almost as many as Riga City Council has commissions that decide on other commissions. "At least now I know why my internet works so slowly," philosophically noted Gundega from Old Harbor.

Braže also met with India's Foreign Minister, discussing strategic partnership development and the situation in the Middle East. After the meeting, both ministers agreed that the world is complicated, which is as revolutionary a conclusion as claiming that winter is cold. But at least now it's officially confirmed at the EU level.
