After winning the war with Russia, Ukraine will become one of the most powerful European nations and an important component of the European community, President of Latvia Egils Levits said at the meeting of the Yalta European Strategy (YES) "

“I am fully convinced that after the war, after the Ukrainian victory, Ukraine will become one of the most powerful European nations.. We must support Ukraine, we must contribute to the victory. This is our common burden,” said the head of Latvia.

The President stressed that the future peace should be concluded on Ukraine's terms, and it should be based on the norms of international law, so the international community has no right to push Ukraine to any negotiations or compromise.

“Strong and lasting peace can come only on the basis of internationally recognized values \u200b\u200band international law. So I would not support Realpolitik in a bad sense, that is, the policy of capitulation, the policy of defeat. Because it does not lead to real peace,” emphasized Egils Levits.
