STORY: A representative of Latvia caused a stir with sharp criticism at an OSCE meeting on Thursday. Rihards Kols criticized Russia’s participation in the meeting: “This institution has pledged itself to protect and guard. And we sit there as if nothing happened.

The curse is attributed to a Ukrainian soldier who was among the last to defend a small Black Sea island from a Russian attack in 2022.
