Military expert, captain of the first rank of the reserve Vasily Dandykin commented on the statement of Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics that the Baltic Sea could be closed to all Russian ships if the investigation reveals Russian participation in the damage to the Balticconnector gas pipeline.
“I don’t think NATO can do this,” he said in interview News.ru, calling such a statement another provocation.
Dandykin suggested that this step by the President of Latvia was agreed with Washington and was connected with the success of the Russian Armed Forces during the Northern Military District.
“They want to do mischief in the Baltic,” the expert said.
He also noted that Finland and Estonia, which are most interested in this, did not make such statements, but Latvia made a statement “with its powerful fleet, three minesweepers and something else.”
The expert once again noted that the situation in the Baltic is not simple, but the statement about closing the Baltic Sea to Russian ships is another falsehood.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Rinkevichs’ words, emphasized that any threats must be taken seriously, no matter who they come from. At the same time, he noted that “threats to the Russian Federation are unacceptable.”
