EU Summons Russian Envoy Following Strike on Latvian Consulate

Kallas condemned the assault on the diplomatic facility, framing it alongside broader Russian strikes against Kyiv and other regions as a calculated effort to inflict civilian harm. She rejected the notion that these incidents are accidental, asserting that the targeting of infrastructure demonstrates a systematic disregard for international norms.

In response to the escalation, the EU has pledged full solidarity with Latvia. The incident has intensified internal pressure within the bloc to impose more rigorous restrictions on Russia’s military-industrial complex, as officials seek to move beyond verbal condemnation toward tangible economic and strategic consequences for Moscow.
