Latvia’s Foreign Minister Baiba Braže confirmed “with indignation” on Friday that a Russian attack had damaged the Baltic nation’s Honorary Consulate in the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk, killing at least six Ukrainian civilians and injuring dozens more.
“I have informed EU and NATO ministers and international organisations,” Braže said in an online statement. “Russia can destroy buildings, not Ukraine’s will and Latvia’s support.”
Latvian public broadcaster LTV Ziņu dienestsreported that Latvia’s Honorary Consul, Oleksandr Pavenko, was not harmed by the incident.
