Lavrov compared the Baltic republics to "little hooligans"
![]() 462 Tuesday, 10 June, 2025, 15:46 Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania remind us of the “little hooligans” of childhood, who sometimes ask for 15 kopecks, sometimes they throw away sandwiches. This was reported by Vedomosti.ru, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. According to him, when “you put these hooligans in their place, big hooligans appear who control these little ones and direct them against ordinary people.” “Now there is a very similar situation with these three Baltic states and those Eurogiants, as they call themselves, who are manipulating Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania in order to constantly weaken the Russian Federation and all its friends and allies, including the Republic of Belarus,” Lavrov said. On June 9, Estonian President Alar Karis told LRT that Russia has a “genetic predisposition to seize the lands of its neighbors,” citing the situation with Ukraine as an example. According to him, Estonia will spend 5.4% of its GDP on defense next year. |
