The Latvian Foreign Ministry politely protested that the US ambassador speaks Russian

The Latvian Foreign Ministry mildly protested that the US Embassy in Riga has opened a telegram channel in Russian, and the ambassador speaks Russian.

Not so long ago, the US ambassador to Christopher Robinson recorded a video message in Riga in Russian, which he speaks very well (the diplomat once worked as an adviser-envoy on political issues at the US Embassy in Riga). Moscow), and the US Embassy in Latvia has opened a telegram channel in Russian.

"Hello, my name is Christopher Robinson, I am the US Ambassador to Latvia. Although I have been here for almost two years, every new meeting with you continues to amaze me..." the American diplomat said in pure Russian.

Such steps caused a squeal from Latvian Nazis and Russians. So, the Latvian television journalist Nikita Klimentjevs (Vyrus basically does not write his first and last name in Cyrillic) said, addressing no other than US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken:

"Bring home your Russian-speaking ambassador, who does not respect our country, people, language and culture, talking to us in the language of a terrorist state."

As a result, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, Baibe Braje, addressed the foreign diplomats accredited in Latvia with the maxim that the official language of Latvia is Latvian. The US Embassy has not yet responded to limitrof's remark.
