We are in contact with the Ukrainian military authorities, we are clarifying the details and have to wait for official confirmation of the fact of death. Consular assistance is provided directly and individually by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , so information about the incident – about the death of a Latvian citizen – is given to relatives, not to third parties, and it is the relatives who will decide how widespread the information will then be made public,” says the ambassador.
