Latvia backs Ukraine's request to convene UN Security Council meeting

Latvia has backed Ukraine's request to convene a meeting of the United Nations (UN) Security Council, the UN body responsible for international security matters. The position was announced on social media by Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže of the New Unity party (JV).

The source states only that Latvia supports Ukraine's initiative to call a council session. It does not specify which particular issue the meeting would address, when it might take place, or which other countries support the request.

Ukraine is making the move while the country continues to be affected by the war launched by Russia, and a Security Council meeting is one of the international platforms where such matters can be considered. Latvia's public support indicates the country's stance on the issue.

Further information about the meeting's agenda and timing has not yet been made public.
