‘Russia is Not Capable of…’: Latvia PM Brutally Mocks Putin, Calls for New Measures to Pressure Him
What the site found
Not propaganda · agenda: US-Russia talks decide Ukraine's fate
Belief the Pravda network pushes: Russia and the United States should negotiate Ukraine's future without Europe, while Ukraine and the West block peace and threaten Russia.
Latvian PM Kulbergs argues Europe should have a seat at the table in Ukraine negotiations, mocks Russia's battlefield performance and calls for more European financial and military support, including use of frozen Russian assets.

“we have to be at the table. But let's be honest, there does it look really serious.”
we have to be at the table. But let's be honest, there does it look really serious.
The video faithfully reports a Latvian prime minister stating his own position; it is the opposite of the Pravda slant, since it argues Europe must take part in negotiations and support Ukraine, and it does not distort facts to portray Ukraine or the West as blocking peace or Ukraine aid as a scam.

0:00 I just wanted to say that uh
0:03 today the importance is about AI
0:06 discussions about AI but uh uh there's
0:08 so much uh more important things like
0:10 peace peace in Ukraine and and the
0:13 discussions about uh Europe's and
0:15 Europe's role in uh in negotiations. I
0:17 think uh we as Europe have to grow some
0:22 bigger balls because we are bigger in
0:25 size. We're bigger in uh in I mean in
0:28 military might in all the economic uh
0:30 aspects. Look where is Russia? Russia is
0:32 uh not capable of even uh taking such a
0:36 such a in size smaller in in population
0:40 smaller uh power as Ukraine which is
0:42 showing a great great spirit and
0:44 fighting back fifth year and in
0:47 discussions Russia is raising uh the
0:50 points what what we have to accept.
0:52 Sorry, that's the aggressor which is
0:54 losing on the front line. Uh we should
0:56 be raising our expectations what has to
0:59 be done in terms of Ukraine's security.
1:01 So I think that's uh that's the position
1:03 we should be we should be stronger in in
1:05 pointing out that uh we are the
1:07 guarantee for the future security. It is
1:10 our geographical area what is uh in the
1:12 future with Ukraine and and Europe. So I
1:15 think that's that should be the position
1:17 in the discussions. Prime Minister, how
1:19 close are we to deciding who will state
1:21 that case for Europe?
1:23 >> Oh, well, [laughter] we we that's
1:26 another day today for for finalization,
1:28 but I think it has to be clear. It has
1:31 to be clear principle who gets to
1:32 mandate and and speaks and we have to
1:34 speak if there if there are ne serious
1:37 negotiations, we have to be at the
1:39 table. But let's be honest, there does
1:43 it look really serious. I think we're
1:45 being dragged into false false uh
1:48 situation. There is nobody willing to
1:50 have peace. Somebody just wants to use
1:51 the the winter for uh making more damage
1:54 to civilians and and Ukraine. So I think
1:58 that's not real peace talks.
1:59 >> Prime Minister on financing Ukraine. We
2:02 hear saying that he can
2:06 some countries won't participate in
2:11 loans. uh what what you do with those
2:14 countries and how how do you see if we
2:16 can solve that uh financially?
2:19 >> Well, look at us the eastern front line.
2:23 We're are three Baltic countries, Poland
2:25 and Finland. We're showing the example.
2:27 We hit the hardest in economy, but we do
2:29 0.25% actually 0.31%
2:33 constant support to Ukraine from our uh
2:36 uh from our GDP. Then we do the most
2:39 investment in the security and defense
2:42 6.4%. We're the example. It is not easy
2:46 politically. Our people are also willing
2:48 to have better life and and etc. But we
2:50 understand the importance of that. If
2:53 other countries would have followed
2:54 exactly the same point, we wouldn't have
2:57 an issue discussing regarding supporting
2:59 Ukraine. And I totally agree with
3:01 councelor Mertz. It is a matter of fact
3:04 that we all have to we are just talking
3:06 about money at the moment.
3:08 Money is an easy way to to to make
3:11 security and defense. Uh it's not about
3:13 lives. It is Ukrainians who who are
3:16 giving their lives to to keep the the
3:18 the security and defense. So I think
3:21 that's u he's totally right. We have to
3:23 be all in one uh one understanding. All
3:26 Europe has to be committed.
3:28 >> Countries.
3:30 >> Well, they have to
3:32 the frozen assets the frozen assets
3:36 discussed just time to time again from
3:38 your perspective like what is the
3:39 solution to solve as Belgian's concern
3:43 >> well uh none of the countries should be
3:46 left alone with an issue which means we
3:49 all have to have solid solidarity in
3:51 this aspect I think that there's a there
3:53 is a money lying on the ground which is
3:57 Russia's money which we can definitely
3:59 use to support Ukraine because That's
4:02 exactly what Russia is doing. It's
4:03 stealing the the the companies. It's
4:06 just seizing the assets in in in Russia
4:08 without any concern. Well, that's the
4:11 money why every European has to take it
4:14 from its own pocket if there's a money
4:15 available. So, we should support
4:17 Belgium. We should support and and fully
4:20 fully all the countries together take
4:22 the risk. Thank you.
