KYIV -- Foreign ministers from the Baltics have expressed solidarity with Ukraine, a fellow former Soviet republic, and called for Moscow to de-escalate rising tensions over a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine's border and in occupied Crimea. "Ukraine is legally and morally right, and we will emphasize this in international organizations. Currently, there is only one side that needs to de-escalate its actions -- the Russian Federation," Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics told a joint press conference with his counterparts from Lithuania and Estonia as well as Ukraine in Kyiv. "Ukraine will never be alone," Lithuania's Gabrielius Landsbergis added. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on April 15 accused Moscow of "openly threatening Ukraine with war and the destruction of Ukrainian statehood," and said it was necessary to show Russia that its actions in eastern Ukraine could have "very painful" consequences. "Today, the four of us can firmly declare that we condemn the exacerbation of the situation by Russia, the actions and statements of Moscow aimed at escalating military tensions and undermining diplomatic efforts to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict," Kuleba said.
