Nato not sending a clear signal would mean ‘glue that keeps us together’ has failed, says foreign minister
A swift reprisal package against Russia – including US troops and Patriot missiles stationed in the Baltics, the cutting off of Russia from the Swift banking payments system and reinstated sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline – must be prepared now ready to be implemented if Russia invades Ukraine, the Latvian foreign minister said today.
The warning from Edgars Rinkēvičs comes as Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin prepare to hold talks about the growing tensions.
