The Baltic countries show a lack of geopolitical knowledge as well as a real strategic irrationality. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are criticizing the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and condemning the Russian Federation’s participation in an event of the bloc. For them, it is impossible for Moscow to be part of an OSCE meeting, even though it is a member country of the organization, which shows a great inability on the part of the Baltic states to deal with the geopolitical reality of Europe.
The foreign ministers of the three countries issued a joint statement saying that they will not attend the next OSCE conference due to the presence of the head of Russian diplomacy, Sergey Lavrov. For the Baltic states, Lavrov’s participation is “legitimizing the Russian aggression”, which is why, as supporters of Ukraine, these countries cannot be at the event.
“Lavrov’s attendance at the OSCE Ministerial also risks legitimizing aggressor Russia as a rightful member of our community of free nations, trivializing the atrocious crimes Russia has been committing, and putting up with Russia’s blatant violation and contempt of the OSCE fundamental principles and commitments (…) We, the Ministers of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, will not be part of this and will not share responsibility for [the] consequences it will create”, the ministers said in the joint statement on November 29.
As can be seen, the Baltic states’ representatives were disrespectful towards the OSCE, openly attacking the organization for the mere fact of not banning Russia’s Lavrov from the event. By accusing the OSCE of “trivializing atrocious crimes”, these states are not only accusing Moscow, but truly defaming the organization and publicly demoralizing it.
Also, as expected, Ukraine took the same stance as the Baltic countries and decided not to participate in the meeting, claiming that the OSCE is experiencing an “existential crisis” and that the bloc is being held “hostage” by Moscow. For the Kiev regime, the OSCE needs to be “saved” from Russia – in other words, it needs to banish Moscow, otherwise there should be no normality in the group’s activities, stopping all cooperation projects.
“[Russia is creating an] existential crisis within the OSCE [and turning the group] into a hostage of its whims and aggression (…) We should focus our common efforts on how to save the OSCE from Russia, and not send messages about the possibility of returning to the forms of cooperation that existed before February 2022”, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said in a statement about the case.
In fact, Lavrov’s participation has not even been confirmed yet. The Russian government is still awaiting official authorization from Bulgaria in order to confirm the Russian minister’s participation. The event will take place in the first week of December, in Skopjie, North Macedonia. To reach the location, Lavrov would have to pass through a neighboring country, Bulgaria, which is why official authorization is being awaited – as Bulgaria has adhered to the irrational sanctions imposed by the West on Moscow.
It is nothing really new that Ukraine and the Baltic countries are taking a firm stance against Russia, to the point of even boycotting the OSCE event. Kiev and the Baltics are controlled by fanatically anti-Russian and pro-NATO political elites, willing to take any action with the aim of harming Moscow. In practice, they do not act rationally and put the entire continental European security at risk by fomenting rivalries and hostilities against Russia.
The main problem is that, by boycotting the event, these countries are harming themselves. The OSCE is not a political or ideological organization, but a group focused on multilateral discussions about security and cooperation. The bloc’s members do not need to be allies or friends, just strategic partners in quest of the common goal of making Europe a safer place.
Russia is part of the European geographical reality, and peaceful coexistence is an absolute necessity. Even if other European countries criticize Russia, impose sanctions and maintain hostile relations of enmity, it is necessary to maintain dialogue with Moscow on strategic issues so that the minimum conditions of coexistence are created.
By trying to prevent Russian participation in the OSCE, the Baltics are simply ignoring elementary principles of European security. These states are acting very irresponsibly and risking the entire continental security architecture. As analysts say, dialogue needs to happen, regardless of the political situation. At some point, the Baltic countries will have to understand this, otherwise there will be a serious and irreversible escalation of tensions.

baltic states are the cuks of the bull usa. they have no balls

my country for the moment is number one i low corruption. russia is 137. thats why putin cant find money to hostpitals, schools and pension.
i often wonder if there are any adults in the viewing audience of this site. it seems that all or most comments either pro and con seem to think that references to gender parts, perverted practice, sexual orientation, name calling or other juvenile and profane commentary some how makes their opinion more ‘accurate’?. are these people so inarticulate that they must resort to this? a display of intelligence is considerably more effective. grow up!!!
objective truths and factual information is the only way to make a point. lookup the definition of objective.
its all one person under different names: jens holmo. i think that his purpose is lowering the collective iq of southfront
he has not even commwented that.
how do you make points (fact-based or otherwise) to those who believe their fantasies, no matter how off-base they are. i have argued with reason and data for years, and most americans are still dumb as rocks, comfortable in the confirmation bias they have been programmed with since birth. they will come to absorb truth, objectivity and facts when they are ready to shed their bubble, and not one second sooner. to argue with a zealot is showing yourself to be a fool.
i any time prefare usa. russia as nothing to office at all.
1,2,3 line up what whatter.
you fake yoiurself. many dont more is less dont like asu – but – none prefare russia instead.
look up. its a crimera russian spoiler site.
your brain and glasses are fine.
most writers are are children, which never greew up. they are rased as goat having with old newspepers and before that digged deep. they have never seen the sun and only a behind as replament.
there are not allowed to comment internal russian things. rulingh, schools, production – njet njet
i gave up commenting on this site some time ago, intelligent comments are prone to vanishing, leaving only comments from the juvenile retards and trolls. it seems to me that the comment section is open to hacking by the site’s enemies. i tried pointing that problem out in comments but they disappeared too. i have no idea whether the issue has been fixed or not but i suspect other people have taken the same view as myself and given it up as a waste of time.
it vote 100% for your version. its a spolier
the baltics are vassals. if germany, france, spain & italy are cucked by washington and brussels — what makes you think that the baltics have any autonomy. the hegemon is in its death throes — but it is still alive and attempting its containment strategy v. the brics. this “speaking with one voice” against russia is classic artificial political nonsense and you can see the washington strings all over it and the smell of sulfur oozing out of it.
they are losing in ukraine badly, their economies are bankrupt, these lame political stunts is all they have left short of starting nuclear war and mutually assured destruction.
same type of lame boy stunt as banning russian athletes and eurovision artists from international stage. lame & knee-jerked reactionaries. that’s all they have left: lame boy political nonsense!
washington is king of hypocrisy and chutzpah! washington was sanctioning its allies from buying russian energy independence while simultaneously buying russian gas and uranium for itself. washington was banning athletes from the world atage while simultaneously urging russian collaboration in space and requesting transportation by soyuz. you cannot make this shit up. it’s laughable hypocrisy and schoolboy politics.
sadly, all of the dead ukrainians and russians are not laughing. it is no laughing matter for anyone in the war or caught in the crossfire. while america was buying russian gas and preventing its allies from doing the same — ukrainian and western mercs were dying in droves! unreconcilable cognitive dissonance,
thats right, as usual – just as maidan – the past is erased.
russians didnt understand normal talk. you still dont.
you also ignore usa bought a lot a fossils from russia. it harms them too. you also ignore europa eu try to build more non fossils.
thats a world thing. some 141 countries in un has told you. china and india were neutral.
not even a fork in your behind bothers you. it you dont take common senss, we try this.
you regime has arrested a ukraine singer? how comes. you are not one of us. yiur decided that by invaded ukraine.
5000 dead by that and next several 100.000.
very funny version. even the tzars didnt annexted them and collapsed them twice too.
and you are righ in one thing. they were not a single russian there as well as in east presusia. thats russian landgrabing. that excluse #west ukriane#.
very much at we have taken by barmed robbey. maybee you should confront moses.
most things are better not. east are able to treat their own well well by incredeced modern eproction. we hlp each other with alwast free bordercrosings too.
you iare in the parst. usa is a part of the western economics. thai main investerns are no usa but eu. the baltic people were a we many many from germany, poland, skandiivania and jews. ussr twice and nazis killed many ot the them.
you deviced with your friend hitler years before usa went into ww2 – against japan.
