Straujuma said no one is ready to
begin a new world war
RIGA, February 24.? /TASS/. Latvian
Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma
warned Western countries on Tuesday
against military interference in
Ukrainian conflict, sa
ying this would
escalate it.
"No one is ready to begin a third world
war," the prime minister told the
Latvian television. "Germany is
especially cautious looking back at
history, that is why nothing is more
important than to agree and come to
general consensus," she said.
Speaking about weapons supplies to
Ukraine, Laimdota Straujuma said this
would depend on whether the sides in
the conflict would abide by the Minsk
agreements.
"Weapons don’t ensure peace,
weapons shoot and kill people. That is
why I believe the most important
thing is to continue negotiations and
abide by the ceasefire terms," she
said.
On February 18, Ukraine’s Council for National Security and Defense
approved an appeal to the United
Nations and the European Union to
have a peacekeeping mission deployed
in Ukraine.
