VILNIUS (Reuters) – Ukrainian diplomats formerly based in Moscow arrived in Latvia on Wednesday evening, Latvia’s foreign minister said.
“Latvia welcomes Ukrainian diplomats who left Moscow and crossed Latvian-Russian border last night,” minister Edgars Rinkevics tweeted on Thursday.
Latvia said on Saturday it would give refuge to the diplomats after receiving their plea for help.
