About the Baltic States

According to him, Russia knows that “the rights of Russian-speakers are being violated” in the Baltic countries, but is responding to this “in the humanitarian sphere.”

“But we already know how to react, and we have developed a certain approach to this. We are reacting in the humanitarian sphere, in the sphere of international law,” the Kremlin leader said.

He also accused the Baltic countries of the concept of “non-citizenship.”

  • Non-citizenship is the status of residents of these countries who arrived in Latvia after the Soviet occupation of the country in 1940.  They do not have the right to vote and cannot work in the civil service. A similar status also applies to certain residents of Estonia. Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n4025312
