According to Olena Kondratiuk, Ukraine has high hopes for the further development of friendly and partnership relations with the Republic of Latvia.
"We are counting on the intensification of Inter-Parliamentary contacts both at the level of the Parliamentary Leadership and at the level of Inter-Parliamentary relations groups. I know that the deputies of the Latvian Saeima have already created the Crimea Platform Group in the Saeima. We hope that this will be a good example for other parliaments," Olena Kondratiuk stressed.
On behalf of the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada, the Vice Speaker also expressed her sincere gratitude to Latvia for its principled support of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian aggression.

According to Olena Kondratiuk, "this is а real and friendly step of Latvia in support of Ukraine's European choice."
