7 октября 2022
The use of information only for one's own benefit, blatant fakes, understatement or distortion of facts is a favorite weapon of the West in hybrid warfare. A scandalous incident in Riga: there was an accident there, in which Belarusian diplomats were suddenly accused. 

A certain SUV collided with a car of a Riga resident, the culprit driver made a scandal and fled. A car with license plates issued in our country was indeed involved in the incident. However, we managed to establish that it was the car of a European diplomat. He or his driver caused the accident. 

The Belarusian Foreign Ministry responded to the accusations of the Latvian media about the alleged "Belarusian" diplomat and the accident. 

Nevertheless, a real bacchanalia started on Latvian TV. They continue to run stories demanding to investigate and punish the Belarusian diplomats, who have long been absent from the country. The Latvian Foreign Ministry also did not find it necessary to clarify the situation: its commentary showed that the numbers of our embassy were still ours, but they had been illegally used by someone. 

The Belarusian side considers it necessary to resolutely refute the insinuations and emphasizes its complete noninvolvement in the scandalous incident.
