• Vesti Segodnya features an interview with the Russian Ambassador to Latvia Viktor Kalyuzhniy

Vesti Segodnya features an interview with the Russian Ambassador to Latvia Viktor Kalyuzhniy criticizing the decision of the Riga City Council to issue a permit for the extreme ultra-right organisation National Power Union (NSS in it Latvian acronym) to hold a protest action against celebration of the Victory Day near the Monument for Liberators of Riga from Nazi Invaders on 9 May. According to Viktor Kalyuzhniy, such protest action is insulting to WWII veterans. The Ambassador believed that similar disorders that occurred in Tallinn because of the removal of the Red Army war memorial from the centre of the city would not happen in Latvia.
