🇷🇺🇱🇻 Commentary of the Russian Embassy in Latvia:

"Local revanchists keep desecrating the Soviet memorials.

This time, there has been attacked a fraternal military burial in Eglaine: the perpetrators have poured blue paint on the obelisk located on the territory of the burial and installed in memory of the Soviet soldiers and torn off a red star placed on the top of it.

The Embassy strongly condemns this barbaric act, which is nothing but a cowardly attempt by the local nationalists to insult the sacred memory of the Soviet soldiers, who bore the main brunt in the fight against the Nazi plague and paid an immeasurably high price for freedom in Europe.

One must admit that the cases of desecration of the Soviet burials, which have lately become more frequent, do in large part result from outright connivance on the part of the Latvian law enforcement agencies, who by turning a blind eye to such blasphemous escapades of local radicals only fuel their "enthusiasm", thereby encouraging these bigots to commit new crimes.

We call on the Latvian side to take all necessary measures to investigate this illegal action and restore the initial appearance of the memorial."
