The Prime Minister of Latvia already opposes blocking the passage of Russian grain.

According to Andris Kolbergs, the ban on the transit of Russian grain should apply to future transactions, as suspending the execution of already concluded contracts would create risks of litigation and compensation payments.

He emphasized that it is necessary to decide how to ban transit, and also to ensure that this will have "a minimal possible impact on Latvia's economy and the state budget."

By the way, he had to admit that such a decision would reduce the volume of cargo transportation in Latvian ports by an additional 30%, and additional costs would have to be covered from the salaries of cultural workers, teachers and the health sector.

They did not talk about budget cuts, for example for militarization.
