As a Latvian citizen, I stand by our delegations message. Many here in Latvia, even in Latgale, feel the same. I'd say that our message was even to nice.

How refreshing to hear someone tell it how it is instead of political correctness and beating around the bush. Well done Mr Kols.

[angusmacmillan]

Good for him! That's what is needed. Straight talking withoutfear or favour.

Fantastic! Absolutely brilliant!!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦👍😄

[hitrapperandartistdababy]

He said what most leaders simply can’t say outright and what the majority of normal people wanted them to hear!

[robharding]

Well said young man ! a politician with balls, and not afraid to call the Russian criminal delegation out.The whole world needs to back this guy and support his opinion, in the strongest possible terms.

Spot on ... the people in Eastern Europe still remember how Russian foreign rule and oppression looks like!

[stephensipe]

The most honest political comment uttered by a politician so far this year!!!

I'm an Australian-born Latvian living in Latvia. There's not many Latvian politicians I admire or feel proud of, but Mr Rihards Kols has represented the Latvian position in a way that makes me feel proud.

People in the Baltic states know what they are talking about. Bravo Latvija

[Fatboylo]

Love that guy. He’s so right. The fact that Russia remains a part of the UN Security Council is a disgrace.

[mrgraham]

Good for him not afraid to say what he thinks this is what is lacking in the world men that will stand up for rightness regardless of the cost
