11/13/2023 – Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs: the West must continue providing military aid to Ukraine, as he believes “Russia is planning for a long war in Ukraine.”

From Euromaiden Press: In an interview with the Associated Press on 11 November, Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs said that the West must continue providing military aid to Ukraine, as he believes “ Russia is planning for a long war in Ukraine.”

He said that the EU and NATO need to prepare “for a very long war” in Ukraine as Russia is mobilizing its economy, resources and military machinery for it. It tried to win the war quickly and realized it couldn’t, and now Moscow wants to “strangle” Ukraine, he said, predicting it will reprise attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in the coming months, as it did last winter.

“I do believe also that it will be much easier for us to keep peace in Europe if Ukraine succeeds rather than we let Ukraine down, or for that matter, also to let the situation in the Middle East get out of control,” Rinkēvičs added.
